All Saints students drum up support for Terry Fox fundraiser Blair Edwards blair.edwards@metroland.com
ONLINE FUNDRAISING
The committee organizing All Saints Terry Fox Run is encouraging students to collect pledges online this year. During the rally, the committee asked two volunteers to participate in an online contest, racing each other on two laptops placed at the front of the assembly to register their name on the Terry Fox fundraising site: www.terryfoxrun.
org. Grade 11 student Steve Smaridge emerged victorious, winning a Starbucks gift pack. ROUTE
All Saints’ five-kilometre run will start just before lunchtime on Sept. 28 at the high school and continue along Kanata Avenue, then loop back across several residential streets and parks. The event will stagger start times, with runners going first, followed by walkers. The school will offer a barbecue lunch for the participants. The school mascot, Eddie the Yeti, will travel ahead of the runners and walkers in a car along with several student council members who are organizing the event. The school’s Terry Fox Run organizing committee challenged their fellow students to fundraise $20,000 – $7,300 more than last year. “We all know someone who is battling cancer or who has battled cancer,” said Medeiros..

Six teens embraced in a huddle shortly before a school assembly for the Terry Fox Run on Thursday, Sept. 21. The tight knit group of students worked together for weeks preparing for the day’s assembly, hoping to drum up support from their fellow 1,600 students at All Saints Catholic High School for the Sept. 28 charity run. Their goal was ambitious – raise $20,000. The organizing committee started the assembly off with an inspirational bang, showing a video of Terry Fox’s Run across Canada. “This group of students is so motivated to get the school spirit up,” said Erika Erskine, one of the teachers supervising the All Saints student council. “They really want the students to obtain a goal of $20,000.” The run’s organizers appeared on stage wearing Tshirts with stickers stating their motivation for participating in the run. The teens took turns read-
ing their T-shirts to the assembly. “This year, I’m running for all the children who didn’t survive cancer,” said Victoria Medeiros, a Grade 12 student. Aaron Doucet said, “I’m running for my grandmother who held me as a baby boy but I never knew her.” Stacey Lance, a teacher at All Saints, then performed Reckless Running, a song she wrote when she was a teenager, shortly after her father died of Hodgkin’s lymphoma. “After my father passed away I made it my mission to raise as much money for the Terry Fox Run as possible,” said Lance.
