Three teachers accompanied 50+ students to the annual Terry Fox Run here in KL. Our students earn community volunteer hours as clean up crews, route marshals, and t-shirt sales people. They are studying the grade 12 Ontario Curriculum and are required to complete 10 community service hours. It's always an honorable moment, for me as a Canadian Terry Fox enthusiast, to hear the Malaysian organizer, promote the heart and spirit of our great Canadian hero. I'm always so proud of him. The t-shirts this year are awesome. A huge # 30 on the back with Terry's picture neatly located inside the numbers. A sea of blue left the starting line. It was very moving and quite amazing. I love being part of that event. Our CPU students always represent us so well. They do a great job volunteering their time to the cause of cancer here in Malaysia. All funds collected here are donated to the SIME DARBY CANCER CENTRE, located minutes from my home.
Terry Fox is such a humble and well spoken young man.
I'm always so impressed with his spirit and humility.
Proudly representing Taylor's CPU and
the cancer research effort.
It's simply elating.
A line dance for Terry Fox.
We are looking up at Terry who is looking down at us,
hence the smiles. He gave us the 2 thumbs up.

Let the race begin!
Now these are the rules folks...no pushing,
or sleeping on the route. Ok lah?
I see a sea of blue...cheers!
A collective workout before the run. Everybody dance now!
