The marathon continues

Nicole Pritchard

Growing up in a town where heroism shines

Terry Fox's legacy forever divine

Courage to stand, to fight for what's right

A beacon of hope, in the dark of night

 

This city bursts with pride, his spirit is alive

Dreams of curing cancer, a challenge he'd thrive

Though his journey ended, his dream remains

We carry the torch, through joy and pains

 

Each year we run in his name we unite

Hoping to fulfill, his vision so bright

Terry's pride lives on, in every single heart

An honor to carry, a legacy to never part

 

With every step, we honor his might

Keeping his dream alive, shining with all our might
