Terry Fox Run

The Marathon of Hope

Terry Fox was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 18. In the hospital he met many children who were also sick. He decided that more money was needed for cancer research. He set a goal to run through 10 provinces and raise 1 dollar for every Canadian. He ran close to 42 kilometres a day from Newfoundland to Thunder Bay Ontario. He ran through rain, snow and heat. Terry was unable to run across Canada but he did raise $24 million dollars, 1 dollar for every Canadian. Terry's Marathon of Hope continues to this day with over $800 million raised to date.

We ran around the Stampede Grounds for Terry Fox, our friends, our families and our neighbours. Generous families raised over $1545 this year! Well done!
