Premier Christy Clark issued the following statement on the passing of Rolly Fox:

“B.C., Canada, and the world have lost a dedicated, resolute pillar in the fight against cancer in Rolly Fox.

“He made the hero’s dream to beat cancer stronger and closer – not just for him, but the millions of people inspired by him and the Fox family, and the thousands of families forever changed by life-saving cancer research.

“And while the entire province mourns his loss, tonight my thoughts and prayers are with Rolly’s friends and family.”
