Winnipeg man discusses his Cross-Canada run inspired by Terry Fox
A Winnipeg man is sharing his story about how he paid tribute to his hero and ran across Canada to raise money for cancer research. Jackson Charron-Okerlund, who works at Poseidon Care Centre as a recreational aide, ran across Canada over 160 days, inspired by Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope. He raised more than $100,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation in Toronto. It was his work at the care centre that inspired him to train and undertake the challenge. 'There was one Christmas where I walked into a room where this lady turned 100 years old, and she was surrounded by many of her generations, her kids, her grandkids, her great grandkids,' Charron-Okerlund said. 'And what I realized was with cancer, not everyone had that opportunity to be 100 and to be in that room surrounded by all their generations. My hero, Terry Fox, did not get that opportunity. So I wanted to do something about that, and made sure everyone had that opportunity to be 100 and be surrounded by all their loved ones.' Jackson Charron-Okerlund Jackson Charron-Okerlund speaks with CTV Winnipeg about his run across Canada on Aug. 1, 2025. (Jamie Dowsett/CTV News Winnipeg) Charron-Okerlund started the journey alone for the first 40 days, running with a stroller carrying his supplies. However, over time, it grew. 'People were coming far and wide to find me on the highway, make a donation, give me gifts and whatnot, and tell their stories about their loved ones who may have lost the battle of cancer, or their loved ones who... were actually alive,' he said. Charron-Okerlund said the biggest challenge of the marathon was the Prairies. 'Going into it, I thought it would be the easiest because it's so flat and you just got to go one foot in front of the other. But it turned out it was starting to be the hottest parts of summer,' he said. 'Turns out, going on different elevations actually works different muscles in your legs, so you're constantly changing up what you're working. So going straight across the prairies for like, a month and a half, by the end of it, I was in a fever dream.' Charron-Okerlund ended his journey at Port Coquitlam, B.C., where Terry Fox is buried. He said he is proud of how he helped raise money for cancer research. 'Every dollar does go to helping someone, and every day, they're making new advancements,' he said. 'And it's so important to keep pushing to a world free of cancer, because I know we can get there.'

Can Jhoan Duran's 100 mph fastball and Harrison Bader's defense lead Phillies to a World Series?
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Harrison Bader got a first-hand look at Jhoan Duran's electric stuff — try a four-seam fastball that averages 100.2 mph — in their short stint together in Minnesota. Bader saw enough to know the Phillies might have finally landed the closer that can put them over the top and win the franchise's first World Series title since 2008. 'Plain and simple, he has close-the-door stuff,' Bader said. 'Tough situation, runner on, maybe baseball happens, he kind of puts a couple runners on. He's got strikeout stuff to strike out three in a row. I've seen it all year. I've seen it on the other side.' Bader and Duran both joined the Phillies on Friday for the start of a three-game series against Detroit. Bader, a right-handed hitting outfielder, and Duran were both acquired on consecutive days in separate trades with the Minnesota Twins. They are now thrust into the thick of a pennant race. Duran's role is settled. He's the closer — the Phillies tested out his fire entrance on the big screen ahead of his debut. The 27-year-old Duran — nicknamed Durantulla and he wore spider cleats on Friday — had 16 saves and a 2.01 ERA in 49 appearances this season, striking out 53 in 49 1/3 innings. 'It's an honor to be part of this team,' Duran said. 'I know here I've got a chance to win the World Series.' The 31-year-old Bader, a 2021 Gold Glove winner, remains a strong defender at all three outfield spots and has 12 home runs, 38 RBIs and a .778 OPS in 96 games. The right-handed hitting Bader will start his Phillies career in a center field platoon with Brandon Marsh. The left-handed hitting Marsh got the start Friday against Tigers righty Jack Flaherty. Phillies manager Rob Thomson said he planned a double-platoon in the outfield (slugger Nick Castellanos is entrenched in right field). Because the Phillies are scheduled to face alternating right- and left-handed pitchers over the next six games with Detroit and Baltimore, Bader and Marsh will platoon over that stretch. Same with lefty-swinging Max Kepler and Otto Kemp in left field. How well they hit over that small sample size could decide Thomson's lineup for the pennant stretch as the Phillies chase the New York Mets in the NL East. Thomson said he hadn't ruled out Bader in left field, 'but I see him sort of as the best center fielder we've got.' Duran's 100.2 mph average velocity for his four-seam fastball is second to Mason Miller's 101.1 mph among those who have thrown 200 or more pitches. Duran isn't eligible for free agency until after the 2027 season. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. Duran joins a Philly bullpen that also has Matt Strahm and Orion Kerkering. David Robertson is ramping up with Triple-A Lehigh Valley after signing a one-year contract on July 21, and José Alvarado is expected to return from an 80-game suspension for a positive test for external testosterone. Duran was acquired by Minnesota in a deal with Arizona at the 2018 trade deadline. He is 17-23 with a 2.47 ERA and 74 saves in 223 career games. The Phillies also sent outfielder Johan Rojas (one home run and 18 RBI in 172 plate appearances) to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. ___ AP MLB:

Report: Million dollar gap in Nick Robertson's arbitration with Maple Leafs
Nick Robertson could go down to the wire this long weekend with the Maple Leafs as his salary arbitration hearing looms. Article content The winger, last of 11 restricted National Hockey League free agents trying to avoid a hearing, is set to face off against his club Sunday. Elliotte Friedeman of Sportsnet reported Friday that Robertson is seeking $2.25 million US, while the Leafs are countering at $1.25 million. Only a one or two-year contract can result through a judge if it gets to the hearing stage, while the two sides have right up to the moment proceedings begin to still reach a deal at another figure. Article content Article content The Leafs have $2.9 million in remaining cap space according to the salary web site PuckPedia, with Robertson likely their last in-house signing project. But the lack of a deal to date underlines the difficulty in setting a value for the 23-year-old, coming off the last year of his $875,000 entry contract. Article content He had 15 goals in 69 games last season, yet made it into just three playoff games and became known for a certain consistent inconsistency, scoring in his return after being benched for stretches of games. Article content Drafted by Toronto in the second round of 2019, he was open to a trade last summer, but decided on another year under new coach Craig Berube. That possibility can't be ignored pending Sunday's developments. Article content
