Longue Sault Public School (LSPS) teacher Ian Callan recently tested his limits for Terry Fox. The teacher undertook a 150-kilometre run on November 4 in order to raisemoney for the Terry Fox Foundation, and to help his school celebrate Canada’s upcoming Sesquicentennial. His run, which began early in the morning inWilliamstown, took him through Cornwall, Long Sault, Ingleside and then up to Ottawa. The physical literacy teacher said a big part of the run is to show area students they can push their personal limits and succeed. “It’s showing our kids that really, you don’t have any limits,” he expressed. “If you have a dream, and a goal, go out and achieve it.” Callan has a history of pushing his per- sonal limits. The ultra-marathoner ran 100 kilometres last year as part of a Terry Fox Foundation fundraiser for his school. This year he was joined on the run by friends and running enthusiasts with the Cornwall Multisport Club, as well as LSPS Grade 3 student Keaton Wagensveld, who was eager to join Callan after hearing about his plans. Wagensveld ran the 25-kilometre

stretch from Cornwall to Rothwell- Osnabruck School (RO) in Ingleside. He raised about $3,200 in pledges for the Terry Fox Foundation. Both Callan and Wagensveld said Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope prompted them to set such rigorous personal goals for their run. “I saw what Terry Fox did and it just in- spired me,” said Wagensveld. “Terry really deserves this,” added Callan. “His legacy is huge, so we have to do some- thing huge. Terry was such a good rolemodel and a great Canadian. This is our way of sharing and celebrating his legacy.” Callan and Wagensveld celebrated the run with students at Viscount Alexander Public School (VAPS) in the morning, after Callan arrived in Cornwall.They ran a cere- monial lap around the schoolyard with some VAPS students, before Callan, Wagensveld and their running partners headed off to complete the stretch to Ingleside. Earlier in the morning, Wagensveld dipped his foot into a canal of the St. Lawrence River near VAPS, in homage to Fox, who began the Marathon of Hope by dipping his foot into the Atlantic Ocean.
