I remember my firstday of school and when I went to camp for the firsttime. But what changed my life completely waswhen I found out that I had cancer.My name is Jason. In 2007, when I was only 7 yearsold, I was diagnosed with brain cancer. The tumourwas right in the centre of my brain. For 61 weeks in arow I received chemotherapy since the tumour couldnot be removed with surgery.Today, I am a healthy 12 year old who loves to ridemy bike and play basketball with my friends.Terry Fox researchers and doctors work hard to findcures for all types of cancer. Your fundraising efforthelps me, and kids just like me, beat cancer every day.Thanks Terry Fox…and thank you!Energize your school!Inspire your students!Support researchto end cancer!
