The Terry Fox Foundation launched its annual limited-edition shirt for this year’s Terry Fox Run, with input from Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds. 

This year’s shirt includes messages to Fox and his family and “celebrates how his story and legacy continues to inspire people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities in Canada and beyond,” the organization said in a release on Tuesday.

Reynolds, who was born and raised in Vancouver, also contributed his ideas to the shirt design.

“I’ve been taking part in the Terry Fox Run since second grade and can’t think of a more enduring and lovely legacy for one person,” Reynolds said in a statement. “Terry Fox inspired millions in life and death.”

The foundation launched its first-ever pre-sale for the new shirt, produced by Adidas, which is available in a variety of sizes and styles ranging from $25 to $40. 

“The initial response from the public has been overwhelming with more than 5,373 pre-orders in the first 24 hours, the same number of kilometres Terry ran,” Vice President of Marketing and Communications for the Terry Fox Foundation, Denise Dias said. “We look forward to the official launch of the Terry Fox Run in April.”

Starting April 12, Canadians can register to join and fundraise for the 43rd annual Terry Fox Run in support of cancer research, which will take place on Sept. 17.
