My friend Aislynn Drysdale paddled this year on the Gung Haggis Fat Choy dragon boat team.  She also works at the BC Cancer Agency, and made arrangements for City TV to do a story with Darrell Fox.  She is also planning on running the Terry Fox Run and is welcoming pledges.  Here is her message...

Subject: We are on TV!

I secured Cindy Leung from City TV to do a story on the treadmills with Dr Ling and Darrell Fox running on them.  Darrell Fox’s message is inspiring and Dr Ling thanked myself and my colleague on Television which is wonderful as it will probably help me boost my pledges!  I would love to forward a picture of the four of us-I will send it by email.

For the television story it will air on City TV- on channel 13-they are doing three days of Terry Fox stories and cancer research.  Please watch.  It will air either today, tomorrow or Friday and should be around 6:20-

As you know I have worked on the Terry Fox Run this year.   To boost training and fundraising for the run I have asked Guideline fitness to donate treadmills to the research centre-we have fun challenges going on like pledges to see other people run and to train for the run coming up on September 18th, 2005.

Terry Fox ran 42 kilometres everyday for cancer research ---how far will you go for your co-workers, friends and family?

We have Jack Fm coming on Friday for a party and we will be broadcasting live (community cruiser) on Friday, September 16 between 9 and 11 am if your available -- listen in on what the research centre is doing to highlight the run.

CTV has gotten wind of this and is now asking to do a story on what is going on here ……

This year is the 25th anniversary of the marathon of hope..  (I will let everyone know when the broadcast will air)

My friends Carl, Julie and I are going to be a part of this walk and if anyone would like to pledge us that would be wonderful- I would love to challenge and showcase Carl’s athletic ability why don’t we put a challenge on?

As Terry said in 1980:

“If you’ve given a dollar, you are part of the Marathon of Hope.”

Pledges can be made online and you can put them under mine or Carl’s name—of course tax receipts will be issued by the Terry Fox Foundation.  Please just pick icon-donate to a participant.

Full names are Carl Sloane and Aislynn Drysdale of the BC Cancer Agency
