Thirty three years ago, Terry Fox started his Marathon of Hope. He was hoping to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. Terry had run a marathon a day for 143 days, and he had run more than 3000 miles across Canada when he had to stop his Marathon of Hope because his cancer had returned and spread to his lungs. Unfortunately, Terry passed away, but his impact was great. Each year, communities and schools across Canada continue Terry's dream to raise money for cancer research and more than $500,000,000 has been raised to date.
Yesterday, Nellie McClung P.S. held its annual Terry Fox Walk in order to support the Terry Fox Foundation for Cancer Research. The Kindergarten classes walked around the school field several times chanting: Who are we walking for? Terry Fox!
So far, our class has raised $175! Thank you to everyone who was able to send in a donation. (We are accepting donations until October 4th. You can also donate online directly to the Terry Fox Foundation.) Here is a photo from our Terry Fox Walk:
