Friday, September 16, 2005My second cousin Noah Reid who's been an accomplished actor for many years now having been on many stages including : playing Chip in Beauty and The Beast at the former Princess of Wales Theatre (Canon Theatre), many other main characters of various stages in the Toronto area, the voice of Franklin that airs of Teletoon and the voice of Tommy, one of Pippi Longstocking's best friends in Pippi Longstocking also on Teletoon, and Marshall on the TV Drama series Strange Days at Blake Holsey High on Discovery Channel; Saturdays at noon and much more. This past summer Noah played Daryl, Terry Fox's best friend in the new TV movie Terry commerating and remembering the amazing story of Terry Fox's heroic concept to run across Canada in support of cancer research. He ran 5,373 km (3,339 miles) from St. Johns, Newfoundland across the island that makes up Newfoundland through Prince Edward Island for 143 days from July 28, 1980 running an average of 42km a day until he had to stop his historic run on September 1, 1980 in Thunder Bay, Ontario. He raised money for cancer research visiting many cancer survivors and victims along the way and capturing the hearts and minds of Canada and the globe. The Terry Fox runs currently happening across Canada and around the world as they do each September are held in memorial at schools, in cities and across regions and countries. Terry leads you through the pain and power of his amazing feat and vision.
