The Terry Fox Run for Cancer Research

Working together to Outrun Cancer 2011

We're so pleased to be taking part in the National School Run Day on October 3. Students are able to help raise funds for cancer research - and it can all be done easily online.

In 1980, Terry Fox faced considerable challenges while running the equivalent of a marathon a day for 143 days during his 3,339 mile Marathon of Hope.  It was all about effort for Terry.  He challenged himself every day with one goal in mind: raise the most money he could to end cancer.  Now it's our turn. 

The Terry Fox Foundation is asking educators across the country to step forward and unite in the spirit of "challenge" by issuing 3,339 school challenges - one for each mile that challenged Terry!
