Darrell Fox interview in Vancouver Sun today: Terry's younger brother

Good interview in today's (Friday April 8th) Vancouver Sun with Darrell Fox, the younger brother of Terry Fox and now national director of the Terry Fox Run Foundation, page B2-B3 of the Westcoast section.

I first met Darrell in 1993, when he invited me to come to the BC/Yukon office of the Terry Fox Run Foundation where he was then executive director.  He also invited me to become a Terry's Team member - to speak at runs and elementary schools as a living example that cancer research has made a difference.  I liked Darrell immediately then, and I believe this Vancouver Sun article does him justice.  Darrell has always put Terry Fox first, he always asks the question, "What would Terry think?"

This article explains the special bond that Darrell always had with his older middle brother.  Darrell went to Newfoundland to help accompany Terry and Terry's best friend Doug Alward on the Marathon of Hope.  Darrell took Terry's death pretty hard, and still does.

As national director of the Terry Fox Run Foundation, Darrell is fiercely proud that 87 cents of every dollar raised goes into cancer research.  The Terry Fox Run Foundation has one of the highest benefit to cost ratio for a large non-profit organizaton - all the more amazing when you realize that no corporate sponsorship is accepted.
