– that I not only know the band and band members who had the old Terry Fox van, but I’ve ridden in it as well.

The Econoline van that was Terry Fox’s home on the road for 143 days during his 1980 Marathon of Hope is being restored.

The 1980 Econoline van, which was loaned to him by the Ford Motor Co., was later sold to a family. It was eventually driven to British Columbia, where a heavy metal rock band from East Vancouver used it for years to tour across North America.

I met Removal a couple of summers ago when they came through Ottawa, a great bunch of guys and some really good music.

Now go buy their CD’s !!
