Hey guys, I'm going to be doing the Terry Fox run on Sept. 15 and I need pledges. Since everybody's so nice here (for the most part anyway :p), I thought I'd ask you guys first if you'd like to donate money towards Cancer Research.
In case you don't know, Terry Fox was a person who was diagnosed with bone cancer when he was 18 and his right leg was amputated soon after. Nevertheless, he decided to do a run across Canada in order to raise money for cancer research. By the time he reached the province of Ontario, the cancer had moved to his lungs and he had to stop. He eventually died, but other people came in and continued his run.
Basically, I'm going to be running 10km (~6miles) for this because many of my friends and family have died of cancer and I'm sick of it.
Here's the link if you want to make a pledge
