The Foundation shared the news of Reynolds’ participation on Twitter with the message, “Secret’s out! We’ve been working with @VancityReynolds on this year’s annual #TerryFoxRun shirt.” Registrants can now pre-order the shirt ahead of this year’s run, which takes place on Sept. 17.

“We’re excited to see the early response from supporters and have launched our first-ever pre-sale,” a spokesperson told CTV News.
On social media, followers praised Reynolds for helping raise awareness for the annual event and bringing attention to a “Canadian hero.”
“I love that you stay true to your Canadian roots! I graduated from Terry Fox high school in Port Coquitlam in 2001 and also did the runs every year. It’s awesome to see you using your fame to spread the word about Terry Fox. Very cool,” one person wrote.
“How can anyone on this earth NOT like Ryan Reynolds,” another added. “He is a gem!!”
“Terry made us proud to be Canadian as do you Mr. Reynolds!” a third wrote.
The annual run honours Fox, who, after losing his leg to osteosarcoma, decided to run across Canada to raise money and awareness for cancer research.
