He’s a Canadian hero known all around the world, and on Sunday thousands of people are lacing up to walk or run in his name.
Terry Fox runs are being held across the country and the GTA, with the goal of continuing Terry’s dream of raising money for cancer research.
“What you ever you do you gotta do the best you can possibly do, and I’m going to give it everything I possibly can,” Fox once said before embarking on his run.
And that he did, as Fox ran his Marathon of Hope, inspiring people across a nation.
Martha McLew, Ontario Director of the Terry Fox Foundation, says there are 17 runs in the GTA alone.
“I think that when people come out to the Terry Fox run, they realize they are doing it for such a personal reason, they are doing it for a loved one, and to really thank Terry at the same time,” McLew said.
There is no per-registration needed and no mandatory fee. To find a run near you, click here.
