Bolton gears up for the World Para Athletics Shop Hours: Mon - Fri: 8 am to 5 pm & Sat: 8 am to 4 pm
CHRIS ABBOTT Post Correspondent
Charlotte Bolton will be seeking shot put and discus personal bests at the end of the month in New Delhi, India. The Tillsonburg-raised athlete will be throwing at the World Para Athletics Championships, Sept. 27 to Oct. 5 in Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, a 60,000-capacity venue. It’s been a busy competition summer for Bolton - her social media pages (Instagram & Facebook) include photos from competi-
tions in Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton, France and Switzerland. She recently returned from the Canadian Track and Field Championships in Ottawa with first in the para division shot put, just two centimeters from her ‘PB,’ and second in disc under the Raza point system with a season best (lifetime third best), edged by a three-time Paralympian. “I was so close to my shot put PB… irritatingly close,” said Bolton, “but overall pretty pleased with that. I really can’t complain. It was more consistency in those higher numbers, which is always good.” CONTINUED TO PAGE 14
Terry Fox Run: Join the fight against cancer CHRIS ABBOTT Post Correspondent
Finish it. The Terry Fox Foundation says ‘Terry Fox started a marathon against cancer’ in 1980. ‘Together we can finish it.’ In Tillsonburg, the annual Terry Fox Run is Sunday, Sept. 14. It starts and finishes at the Tillsonburg Soccer Park near the pavilion. Opening ceremonies are at 10 a.m., with Denise Haley singing O
Canada, followed by the walking, running, cycling or rolling one of three routes – 3 km, 5 km, or the new 10 km trip. “It’s going to be a really good year,” said Tillsonburg Terry Fox coordinator Shelley Imbeault. Before Tillsonburg’s 37th annual run, volunteers will offer a warm-up workout. There will be facepainting for the children by Girl Guides and Pathfinders. And there are new photo backdrops for photo/selfie opportunities, donated by the Tillsonburg Soccer Club. CONTINUED TO PAGE 2
