The Editor,
My husband and I and our three children took part in the Terry Fox Run last Sunday. As always, it was well organized. Thanks to all the volunteers, the people giving away water and the RCMP auxiliary constables for standing in the rain, smiling, cheering and making the event a success.
I ran/walked 10 km with my older daughter, Beatrice, while my husband Rob walked 7 km with our twins, Zachary and Madeleine, and one of their friends. Near the 5 km turnaround mark, my husband and our son lost sight of each other.
My husband talked to one of the RCMP auxiliary constables and sent him a photo via text message. The constable shared the photo with his colleagues and other volunteers. Thanks to the RCMP auxiliary constables and the city of Port Coquitlam volunteers who found, stayed and/or walked with Zachary until our paths crossed.
As Zachary and I walked back to the finish line, he was quite happy to have RCMP auxiliary constables recognize him, shake his hand and congratulate him for remaining calm and doing the right thing.
Suzanne L’Heureux,
Port Coquitlam
