The Terry Fox Foundation announced that Ryan Reynolds designed this year’s shirt for the fundraiser and it will be sold early due to overwhelming demand.

Reynolds confirmed the announcement on Twitter Saturday with a photo of himself wearing the shirt and referring to his involvement with this year’s fundraiser.

“I’ve been taking part in the Terry Fox Run since second grade and can’t think of a more enduring and lovely legacy for one person,” he said. “Terry Fox inspired millions in life and death.”

The foundation also tweeted that the secret is out and registrants can purchase limited-edition shirts on April 12, ahead of the 43rd anniversary of the Terry Fox Run.

The shirt shows Fox in front of the phrases “Dear Terry” and “Cher Terry.”

The foundation’s website states that the design and handwritten notes were inspired by the countless messages Fox received from the millions of people he continues to inspire.

“Run, Terry, Run” and “You are my greatest hero ever” are printed on the back of the shirt, which are also letters written to Fox.

The annual event honouring Terry Fox and his legacy has raised over $850 million since Fox ran across Canada for cancer research.

This year’s Terry Fox Run is set for Sept. 17.
