PORT COQUITLAM (NEWS1130) - Trinity United Church in Port Coquitlam will be packed today as hundreds of people are expected to attend the funeral for Betty Fox. Terry Fox's mother died last week at the age of 73.
Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore says he's not surprised that so many people want to pay their respects to the Fox family. He adds that for the last 30 years Canadians have watched Betty continue Terry's dream and now they want to show their appreciation.
Betty Fox helped organize community runs, raised money and helped open a cancer foundation and research institute.
Due to the large capacity expected at Trinity United Church, the City of Port Coquitlam will open the Wilson Centre to help offset the crowd.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Terry Fox Foundation or by mail to:
