Mr. Terrion who was recently back in Prince Rupert for a few days on his mission to raise funds now lives in Prince George and his dedication to the Terry Fox Run there has resonated with residents of that community, much like they have with those who live in his former hometown.
At the Sunday Terry Fox Run in Prince George, Mr. Terrion was honoured by community organizers for that dedication to a cause that has spanned decades now. Saluted for his fundraising work which to this point has raised 673,363 dollars for the Terry Fox Foundation since 1991.
Prior to Sunday's run in Prince George, Terry Fox Run organizers presented Mr. Terrion with a special plaque of recognition for his fundraising work.
A review of the recognition as well as a number of photos from the Prince George event can be reviewed from the Prince George Terry Fox Run Facebook page.
