During the past two weeks, from Jan. 24 - Feb. 4, we celebrated the life of Terry Fox. He became famous for the Marathon of Hope, a cross-Canada run to raise money forcancer research, which Fox ran with one prosthetic leg. He is considered one of Canada's greatest heroes of the 20th century and is celebrated internationally every September as people participate in the Terry Fox Run, the world's largest one-day fundraiser for cancer research. During the two weeks, we raised over 600 Omani Rials or $1500 US, to support cancer research foundations here in Oman. The money was raised through bake sales, an obstacle course and donations. The two week event culminated with our own Terry Fox Run on Feb. 4, as we raced around the school to complete the run Terry was unable to. After the run, we ate snacks from the bake sale and showed off our Terry Fox tattoos. Events like these make the experience of living overseas and teaching in an international school all the more memorable.
