April 12th marked 42 years since the start of Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope.
The Terry Fox Foundation is kicking off this year’s annual Terry Fox Run with the launch of a limited edition T-shirt. This shirt was designed by Canadian artist Douglas Coupland in collaboration with the Fox Family, the shirt features a dot-screened portrait of Terry and the words ‘I’m Not a Quitter’ printed on the sleeve or back.
The new shirt embodies Terry’s fierce determination and ‘no quit’ attitude, perfectly captured in his quote from 1980, “Nobody is ever going to call me a quitter.” All proceeds from T-shirt sales will further Terry’s mission of funding critical cancer research in Canada.
“This year’s Terry Fox Run shirt takes a fresh approach that represents Terry’s spirit, perseverance, and grit to inspire Canadians to keep going,” says Fred Fox, Terry’s older brother. “Terry’s powerful story is a demonstration of how one person can make a difference through vision, hard work, and a never-give-up attitude.”
Canadians can purchase a limited edition shirt and can register to join the annual Terry Fox Run, which takes place on Sunday, September 18, 2022.
The shirts, produced by adidas, are available in a variety of sizes and styles ranging from $25 (short sleeve), $35 (long sleeve) and $40 (performance tee) CAD. All proceeds support cancer research in Canada. For more information on this collaboration or to purchase a shirt and register for this year’s Terry Fox Run, please visit terryfox.org
