Prince George’s Jim Terrion is officially “Million Dollar Jim.”
According to the Terry Fox Run PG Facebook page, Terrion achieved his lifelong goal of raising $1 million for the Terry Fox Foundation this morning (Tuesday).
Local philanthropist Selen Alpay donated $5,000 to Terrion’s campaign to put him at $1,000,001.
Yesterday, Mayor Simon Yu and the City of Prince George proclaimed this week (Jun 9-15) as “Million Dollar Jim Week” in Prince George.
A special proclamation ceremony will be held at 11:00 am on Friday beside the Terry Fox statue outside of the Canfor Leisure Pool.
In addition, Terry Fox’s brother Fred Fox will be in Prince George to honour Jim on behalf of the Fox Family and the Terry Fox Foundation.
