Now it is 9:45pm on September 13, 2021
Wow I almost didn’t get this one in but here we go. Alright no weather update today but let me reminisce and give you a where I was on this date 4-years ago today. To give you a slight background on this history lesson. I led a study abroad group of students from NCFL to study at one of our partner universities in England at Burton & South Derbyshire College. We have a great relationship with BSDC and we are excited about the many opportunities and possibilities to come. So on this date 4-years ago I (and the NCFL students) took a short day trip from Burton Upon Trent where BSDC is located to the beautiful countryside of England and let me tell you the entire trip on the bus or I think as they refer to it in England a motorcoach looking out the window was breathtaking like a painting of the absolutely gorgeous English countryside. We arrived at a place called the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and in the beautiful countryside there was large displays of Art that made for some real great picture memories. Also we (as I was told) did something British and had a sack lunch outdoors in this great setting. It was just totally awesome and that happened on September 13, 2017

Today's topic
The Terry Fox Run

Terrance Stanley Fox (July 28, 1958 – June 28, 1981) was a Canadian athlete, humanitarian, and cancer research activist.

The Terry Fox Run is an annual non-competitive charity event held in numerous regions around the world in commemoration of Canadian cancer activist Terry Fox, and his Marathon of Hope, and to raise money for cancer research.

The event was founded in 1981 by Isadore Sharp who had contacted Terry in hospital by telegram and expressed his wishes to hold an annual run in Terry's name to raise funds for cancer research. Sharp had lost his son to cancer in 1979. The event is held every year on the second Sunday following Labour day. Since its inception, it has raised via the 'Terry Fox Foundation' over $750 million The run is informal which means that the distance often varies, usually between 5 and 15 kilometres; participation is considered to be more important than completing the set distance. There are also runs set up by schools of every level, often with shorter distances than the "official" ones.
The Terry Fox Run has no corporate sponsorship, in accordance with Terry Fox's original wishes of not seeking fame or fortune from his endeavour. During his cross-Canada run, he rejected every endorsement he was offered as he felt that it would detract from his goal of creating public awareness. The Terry Fox Runs have no advertisements on any race related materials (such as T-shirts, banners, etc.).
