Lewiston - NOTL News

On October 26, 2016, the Rotary Club of Lewiston, NY & Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON made it's annual donation to support the NOTL Terry Fox Run to support Cancer  Research.  Pictured are (left to right)  John Shaver, club Treasurer, Joan King, run organizer, club President John Hopkins, and Les Potapczyk, run organizer.   Through the club's support of a hot dog stand to raise funds, the club helps to honor the memory of a brave young Canadian who, despite having a prosthetic leg, attempted in 1980, to run across Canada to promote cancer research.  He was thwarted in his goal by the recurrence of his cancer.  Every year, over 220 locations in Ontario host a Terry Fox run in his memory in order to raise funds for cancer research.  This year the event took place on September 18, and is scheduled to take place again September 17, 2017.
