Terry Fox Run
January 30, 2025
Our school participates in the Terry Fox Run every year. We are very thankful of our community that often fundraises a generous amount for the Terry Fox Foundation and the ongoing cancer research.
Terry Fox was born on July 28, 1958. He was diagnosed with cancer in March 1977. After treatment, Terry began his Marathon of Hope by dipping his leg in the Atlantic Ocean in Newfoundland on April 12, 1980. Terry’s dream was to raise $1.00 for each Canadian and Terry’s Marathon of Hope succeeded in raising over 24.1 million dollars!
Terry died in June of 1981. To date, over $715 million has been raised in Terry’s name for cancer research.
