For those wanting to make financial contributions to Gun s memory, two memorial funds have been started. The Prairie Inn Harriers have established the Gunner Shaw Memorial Fund with the intent of establishing an athletic scholarship in Gun s name at UVic. Some of the funds will be used to buy a memorial trophy. Anyone wishing to contribute can do so by sending a cheque or money order to Gunner Shaw Memorial Fund, Bank of Nova Scotia. Contributions for her should go to Northwest Trust.
Legends never die.
Good-bye Gun old friend, and God bless you. Fast forward to 1997, Alex Marshall and Bob Reid, two of Gun s closest running and training pals, have directed a cross country race in Gunner s honour at Thetis Lake Park, his favourite training area. The Gunner Shaw Cross Country Classic 10K race is one of the most popular events of the fall and proceeds from the race continue to support charitable and community projects managed by the Prairie Inn Harriers, the very club that Gun founded in 1978.
