At 78 , Bill Vigars , the iconic publicist and organizer of the Marathon of Hope , died of heart failure in Vancouver on Wednesday .
He helped keep Terry ’s dream going for 44 years after it ended near Thunder Bay in 1980 when it was learned the cancer that had stolen Fox 's leg had returned and spread to his lungs.
“I will make sure you live forever,” he vowed to Fox .
Kind. Strategic. Justice driven. Humble. He’s going to be missed. But the results he left behind will remain. “His wife Sherry , his kids Patrick and Kerry Anne obviously are feeling this loss more than most,” said Harvey . “ Bill died after a struggle with heart disease over the summer culminating in a sudden turn for the worse over the last week . His big heart just faded away and he left us peacefully Wednesday .” Bill Vigars is together again with Terry now and he kept his promise. [email protected].
