www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Friday, August 21, 2015 | 8 Oakville Terry Fox Run hopes to raise $1 from every Oakville resident continued from p.5 in the community who wants to join us." The 2012 Terry Fox Run, the first for Team Max, was held exactly one year after Khan learned of his cancer diagnosis, Damoff said. "It was a way, as he said, he could celebrate defeating cancer," she said. Damoff, who will represent the Liberals in the October federal election in the new OakvilleNorth Burlington riding (taking Khan's place), said Team Max has raised almost $20,000 in three years. She's hoping to personally fetch at least $2,500 this year. "It's unfortunate we've had to change it from a team in honour of someone who was a survivor to in memory of someone who has passed. I spoke to his (Khan's) family to make sure they were supportive and they are," said Damoff. Last year's Oakville Terry Fox Run raised $132,000, but Damoff is optimistic this year's event can reach the goal of $1 per local resident. "I think we can do it. That's what Max always said to me. When I would say something to Max, he would say, `Well, let's just do it.' We're just going to go out there and do it," said Damoff, who's been involved in the Terry Fox Run for more than 15 years and has chaired the local event since 2010.

Council wants the Province to follow the town's lead and designate the same day Ontario-wide. Also on Team Max is Dana Anderson, who has been with the group since it started. She joined after having a conversation with Damoff about the event, the councillor's involvement and Khan's struggles with cancer. "When I was working at the Town of Oakville, Pam Damoff and I were chatting about the Terry Fox Run. She said, `We're looking at putting a team together to support Max.' I said `Count me in,'" said Anderson. Aside from the Terry Fox Run being an "incredible event" that raises funds for a good cause, Anderson wanted to support Khan and what he was going through, she said. The Oakville councillor reached out to Anderson when she had health issues, too. "Out of the blue I got a call from Max, who was at the hospital waiting to go for treatment or was in one of his sessions, to ask me how I was and if there was anything he could do to help me. That's part of who he was," said Anderson. "He was going through his own struggle. Here's (a situation) that someone else is challenged with and he was calling me to say, `If there's anything you need help with.' I was just amazed by that." Khan's eagerness to help others is the "kind of spirit that is ingrained in what the Terry Fox Run is all about," Anderson said. "It's overcoming adversity and never giving up. There's hope that people will be able to overcome the challenges that are thrown at them with cancer," said Anderson. see A chance on p.9 CREATE YOUR DREAM h t a B r o n e Kitch Introducing Go Big, Go Better, Go Best --new ingenious options to perk-up an already perfect vacation.
