On Sunday, September 17, the Terry Fox Run will take place in communities across Canada.

The run, an annual event, is a cancer fundraiser, honoring the legacy of Terry Fox.

In 1980, Fox, who had lost a leg to cancer, started the Marathon of Hope with the goal of crossing Canada running a marathon every day.

Although the Marathon of Hope was interrupted when Fox’s cancer returned, the spirit of this journey continues today.
