On Friday, September 9, and Saturday, September 10, the Terry Fox Run organizing committee of London (Terry Fox Run London, or TFRL) is hosting a promotional event on the property of the London Rowing Club, just north of Springbank Gardens on Wonderland Road (between Springbank Drive and Riverside Drive). The event is called “36 Hours for Terry Fox - Revvin’ Up for the Run,” the “36” symbolic of the 36th annual Terry Fox Run on Sunday, September 18, for which we hope to raise more awareness. We hope that you have an opportunity to mention this event in your medium, and perhaps provide some coverage of it while it is taking place. Through promotional events such as this, rather than paid advertising, we are able to ensure that a higher percentage of money raised goes toward cancer research compared to any other major fund-raising organization. There are events scheduled at various times on both days, such as games and making of tie-dye shirts, as well as a movie-showing each night. Special events include a scheduled visit by the Memorial Cup, won last year by our London Knights, on Friday evening (6-7:30), followed by a significant head-shave, and a visit by a replica Ghost-busters car on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until the evening. Posters from the Terry Fox Run poster contest will be displayed all day. A more detailed schedule is copied below. It is our hope that byraising public awareness of the Terry Fox Run on the following weekend, we can make this year’s Run one of our most successful ever. If you have any questions, please contact Paul Cox, Committee Chair, at terryfoxrunlondon@gmail.com or 519-670-7285.
