The Merritt Herald spoke with Fall at his stop at the Moon Shadows RV Park and Campground in Merritt about his journey so far. He and wife Collette stayed at the campground overnight on April 22, returning to where he last left the pavement at Exit 276 on the Coquihalla Highway on April 23. Fall is expected to run through Kamloops this weekend. It started off a few years ago when my wife and I started working with the local Terry Fox Run in Sault Ste. Marie, Fall said. A group of us, just sort of joking around, said we d like to continue something like what Terry Fox did. And that stuck in the back of my mind. And, after running a number of marathons, I figured I maybe could do it.
