Annual Terry Fox Run!

At twenty-one years old, Terry Fox began his Marathon of Hope in St. John’s Newfoundland. Terry ran through rain, snow, sleet, heavy winds and hail as he made his way west towards British Columbia. He woke up every day at 4am and ran 12 miles and then had breakfast, took a nap and ran the remaining 14 miles. Terry ran a marathon a day, every day, for 143 days. Can you imagine? Terry persevered through these challenges because he knew he had to do something to help those living with cancer. He will certainly always be remembered as a true Canadian Hero because of his courage and determination. Let’s keep his dream alive and have an amazing Terry Fox Run this year! Cootes Paradise will celebrate our Annual Terry Fox run on October 5th. Please wear red to show your support for Terry!
