It is a 'Terry Fox Run' season here again, but this year, I cannot go. I am so sorry about this, especially am sorry for Scott who taught me about Terry Fox:( The reason does not even sound serious because it is my baito. My baito place does not allow any workers on weekend's shift to take an off. They do not even hear our asking, they said. This is why I cannot participate this year, but I know that is how a sociaty goes. You cannot do everything you want to.

Walking the five kilometres of Terry Fox Run means important to me because raising for cancer research is not something out there, but right here. In fact, a lot of Japanese people and other people around the world are killed by cancer every year, so we need to come together, talk about cancer research to each other, and find a way to make its situation better.

Two years ago, our class sent letters from each to Terry Fox's mother, then we received messages back via its association! This is super, isn't it? I still remember this, and still think about Terry Fox Run til now. Two years ago, I went with my Japanese friend from the same class of Scott, then last year, I went with my American friend from a same Becca course. I wish I could go this year again. I like its view of lots of families with little kids there too. I really hope that I will be able to participate next year, and I will not be too tired working late because Terry Fox Run will be in the early Saturday morning!

I hope you readers check out if your town holds Terry Fox Run or not because it is held many places and countries around the world. If yes, you are lucky that you are going to have such a lot of fun there.
