N.S. man teams up with Terry Fox's brother to bring Canadian icon's run to Ireland

Living in Ireland for the last few years, Halifax native Stew Paterson felt something was missing every September.

The Terry Fox Run was part of his upbringing and his Canadian roots, but Fox’s legacy is not well known in Ireland — so he took it upon himself to change that.

On Sept. 17, Paterson partnered with the Terry Fox Foundation to organize the first Terry Fox Run in Ireland in over a decade. 

He reached out to Fox’s brother, Darrell Fox, who flew to Ireland for his first Terry Fox Run outside of Canada.
