The ACSS Terry Fox Run

In the high schools's main gym both the middle school and high school gathered to learn about the Terry Fox Run. We were informed about Terry's life and his struggles through a video. After gathering in the gym, we all headed to the track. The middle school ran first, having us wait for a couple minutes.

Many students ran the Terry Fox Run, leaving the walkers behind. This is the beginning of the run, where everyone does a lap of the track. While the runners were very much ahead of us, the people who walked soaked up some sun.

Going around the Aldergrove Athletic Park took up most of the run, this being the tail end. While walking this route, many of the participants took it upon themselves to catch up with friends. Meanwhile others are walking solo. 

Also being around the tail end of the route, some people are still running, while others continue to walk. Runners got more satisfaction as the crossed the finish line, most grinning from ear to ear. Meanwhile, the walkers were happy to, but not feeling as accomplished.

Overall, this years Terry Fox Run was pretty successful. During the run it was difficult, if not impossible, to hear a negative comment about it. Many not having a problem with helping out this cause. The donations seemed to be very rich in amount as well. Students and teachers seem to be helping out in any possible way that they could. Mr. Crowley presented a video before the run that I believe helped many people get enthusiastic about participating in all our Terry Fox events. And it definitely showed.
