Kathleen Wynne, Bob, and Carol at the Terry Fox Run

By: Carol Bryce, SW-III, Resolution Group Home

One doesn’t know where the inspiration may have come from but it’s not difficult for people supporting Bob Davies, who lives at the Resolution Residence, to understand  easily how  keen he is on the Terry Fox story. It’s not surprising, participating at the Terry Fox Run seemed like a natural idea for Bob. With help, Bob has been  participating in the Terry Fox Run for the past 7 years. It is such an important part of his life that rarely would he forget to mention “Terry” at his Personal Direct Plan, and then follow it up quickly by pointing his finger to his leg, as he would say, “broken!” – not referring to his but to Terry’s.

He enjoys raising money for the cause, and this year alone he raised $42.00! Bob is a really friendly and social        person; he smiles as he walks the 5km loop with passion, greeting everyone he meets along the way with a “Good Morning”. This year, he met the Premier of Ontario, Kathleen Wynne! She talked to him about Terry Fox and the importance of the Run. It was a fun day for Bob and the money was raised for a good cause—Surely, it will be on Robert’s to-do-list for next year too.
