Twenty-six years of hope, one dollar at a time

Filed under News Story, 11:06 am September 15, 2006

Twenty-six years ago, Terry Fox set out on an incredible journey with the dream of a world without cancer. He set the simple goal of raising $1 from every Canadian, and inspired a nation along the way.

Twenty-six years later, the Terry Fox Run continues as an annual noncompetitive event, and has become one of the largest single-day fund-raisers for cancer research in the world. The Terry Fox Foundation has raised well over $400 million dollars since the original Marathon of Hope.

Last year, the province of Saskatchewan raised its best ever total - $1.19 million dollars - easily meeting Terry’s original goal. Join us in 2006 and help us to build on last year’s tremendous success. Terry Fox Run pledge sheets are available at TD Canada Trust, BMO, and Esso and can be downloaded from our website at www.terryfoxrun .org.
