I am so grateful for this community of support. After I posted my plan to participate in fund raising for Terry Fox, a donation in my name was made by a PERFECT stranger.
My first thought was to see if this donation was made by a Teal Sister. YES! What a delightful surprise. With tears in my eyes, words fail me. i reached out to Natalie to thank her and received a lovely reply back
"Nice to e-meet you. I get so inspired to see the efforts being made to keep Terry's legacy alive and continue his journey. Makes us all feel so connected. ❤️"
bless you for your generosity. Hugs,

Hi @WEMK ... so nice to hear from you. I hope your chemo treatment went well. I know a few people participating in Terry Fox events this coming weekend - congratulations to you for getting involved. Bringing awareness to any cancer initiative is amazing. Terry was definitely an inspiration to so many. I hope your walk goes well and you are blessed with good weather!!!

Hello Teal Sisters,
Although I don't post very often, I do follow the conversation on a daily basis and feel a sense of fellowship with this community.
Tomorrow I will have my 6th chemo session in this, my 2nd, round of treatments. Because of this timing I opted to NOT participate in the Ovarian Cancer Walk of Hope this past weekend. Instead I will be heading to Charlottetown, PEI next week to cross Confederation Bridge as part of the 45th anniversary of Terry's marathon across Canada.
In 1980, Terry Fox showed us that one person has the ability to make a huge difference. I'm walking in Terry's footsteps to raise funds to improve cancer diagnosis, research, and treatment and to honour all Canadians who have battled Cancer - with their own demonstrations of perseverance and resilience - and for the families and communities that support them.
I am proud of everyone who supports the cause to find a cure for Cancer. Terry's dream was to Finish It! Together let's end it!
Thanks for listening,
- Wendy
