Above, his uncle Terry, a longtime Lethbridge-area resident.Today residents from Green Acres Foundation Lodge’s across Lethbridge hit Henderson Lake Park for their first Terry Fox Walk. "I hope he's remembered forever and ever because of what he's done and what he started," said Terry Fox, Fox’s uncle and namesake.
"A lot of times we do it individually lodge by lodge, but this will be the first year we’ve decided to do a group one and have six lodges and 65 to 70 residents participating all at once," said Clinton Kienzle, manager of Alberta Rose Lodge.'SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL AND DIFFERENT AND NEW' "It gets people together, gets people thinking right and realizing that we all have to help each other."
Fox has been living in Lethbridge since 1977 and says it's incredible to see his nephew remembered by so many year after year. "He’s come to all of our events every year and we always honour Terry Fox and the massive impact he's had on society, so to have him come and enjoy this with us is amazing," Kienzle said.
