The Vancouver-born film star, producer and screenwriter has teamed up with the annual Terry Fox Run to help design this yearBԪַs T-shirt, the proceeds of which go to cancer research.

He shared an image of himself wearing the shirt on Twitter and Instagram over the weekend, noting heBԪַs taken part in the Terry Fox Run BԪַsince second grade.BԪַ

A spokeswoman for the Terry Fox Foundation says Reynolds helped design and choose the white shirt in collaboration with the Fox family and other creative partners.

It features a black-and-white photo of Fox on the front, accented with a bit of red. Behind the image are the words BԪַDear TerryBԪַ in blue script, and real handwritten letters to Fox are copied and excerpted on the back.

Denise Dias says presales have been strong since Reynolds announced his involvement, with more than 6,300 shirts sold by Monday morning.

This yearBԪַs run takes place Sept. 17.

Registration opens on April 12, which is the day that Fox began running in 1980, but Dias says BԪַoverwhelming interest and supportBԪַ in the T-shirt spurred the foundation on Sunday to allow for the first time.
