Today (July 28^th ) marks Terry Fox’s birthday (he’d be 62 this year). This year also marks 40 years since Terry’s Marathon of Hope.

To celebrate the momentous occasion the Terry Fox Foundation’s have officially launched the Terry Fox TRY prior to their month-long campaign in September leading to the Terry Fox walk which takes place on Sunday September 20, 2020.

Individuals like you and I and organizations are invited to identify their “TRY” – anything that represents a challenge to them and that they want to celebrate and invite others to do the same.

Jason Wellwood

Originally from southern Ontario, Jason found his way here and fell in love with the community and music scene of Thunder Bay over twenty years ago. In between various stints on radio, television and writing, Jason is a dad, a partner and (some would consider) a zoo keeper (seriously, he has a LOT of pets).
