This year, he was one of dozens of people of all ages who ran in the Yellowknife Terry Fox Run.

Participants gatheredatthemultiplex before running, walking, or biking a five kilometre loop through the Range Lake area. There were also one and three kilometreversions of the route for those who preferred a shorter run.

Hendersonsaid that in those early years of the Terry Fox Run, he couldn't have imagined the event would still be going strong so many years later.
