Communities across the country took part in the 35th annual Terry Fox run on Sunday.
In 1980, Terry Fox started his Marathon of Hope run across Canada in support of Cancer research.
Fox ran 26 miles per day, gaining more and more public support and media attention along the way.
The cancer amputee was forced to stop his run in northern Ontario when his cancer returned. Fox ran 3,339 miles in 143 days.
There are a handful of runs taking place across Toronto including at Canoe Landing, Beaches, Garrison, High Park, West Hill, York University and Ward Island.
Runs across the country were listed at TerryFox.org.
