2016 TERRY FOX RUN: A SURVIVOR RUNS
First, the bad news... Part 2 in a three-part series… JANIS WARREN

wo years ago this month, Kevin Ballard stood at the start line of the Terry Fox Hometown Run, scanning the crowd of thousands that had shown up to continue the Port Coquitlam hero’s legacy. But while he was aware of the event’s goals and Terry’s story — Ballard had graduated from the school that bears his name — he was absorbed in his own thoughts, what he called “a self-pity party.” He had good reason. Only days before the 2014 Hometown Run, Ballard, then 29, was given a death sentence. He and his wife, Nikki, were at the BC Cancer Clinic in Surrey when the oncologist broke the news Ballard had aggressive brain cancer — Stage 4 glioblastoma multiforme — and he had just 18 months to live. see ‘I DON’T KNOW’, page 18

Terry Fox secondary graduate Kevin Ballard (class of 2003) will, for the second year in a row, wear his red Terry’s Team T-shirt at the Terry Fox Run. The 31-year-old is in clinical remission after being diagnosed in September 2014 with brain cancer.
EVERGREEN LINE EFFECTS
More co-op cars come with Evergreen DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
With the opening of the Evergreen Line just months
away, car sharing outfits that provide members access to a network of vehicles for a fee are eyeing the Tri-Cities as a place to lay some rubber.
Modo, a Metro Vancouver car sharing co-operative, is expected to add four more vehicles to seven already located in Coquitlam and Port Moody.
And Zipcar, a U.S.-based company, is planning on entering the local market and was scheduled to announce its expansion plans at a press conference in
Coquitlam today (Wednesday). The idea that people have less need for cars when they have access to rapid transit is behind the explosion of car-sharing around
the world, Selena McLachlan, marketing director for Modo, told The Tri-City News. see TRANSIT ACCESS, page 8
