The Standard
Lace up for the Terry Fox run NORTH DURHAM: Local residents will once again come together to walk, run and wheel in the fight against cancer, when the 2013 edition of the Terry Fox Run comes to the communities of North Durham next month. The Sept. 15 event, now in its 33rd year, will once again help raise funds and awareness in the continued fight against cancer, continuing a tradition that began with Terry Fox’s courageous cross-Canada journey in 1980. The walk has raised more than $600 million dollars from across the country in that time, with participants across Ontario raising more than $12 million in 2012 alone. Eighty-four cents from each dollar raised goes toward cancer research.
Once again, the non-competitive event requires no minimum pledge to participate. The Port Perry run will begin at the Palmer Park Gazebo on Water St. at 9 a.m. with registration at 8 a.m. Contact Elizabeth McArthur at 905-985-0951 or elizabethmcarthur@gmail.com. In Uxbridge, participants will gather at Elgin Park for the 9 a.m. run, with registration at 8:15 a.m. Contact Maggie or Drew Ferraro at 905-852-2169 or mferraro@powergate.ca. Both the Port Perry and Uxbridge routes are accessible by wheelchair, rollerblades and bicycle. For more information, visit www.terryfox.org.

A BIG THANK YOU! Thank you for your support this year
Members of the Port Perry Cruisin’ Classics Car Club celebrated the end of another great summer season at Emmanuel Community Church last week with a donation night in support of Operation Scugog. Those in attendance filled two pick-up trucks with donations for the local food bank, and raised hundreds of dollars in cash. The club will return for another summer of Tuesday night cruise-ins next May, and wish to thank all those who helped make 2013 such a great year for local classic car enthusiasts.
