Terry Fox Run

Terry Fox was a young Canadian who had cancer in his knee and lost his right leg.
In 1980 he started a charity run across Canada to raise awareness and money for cancer research. Unfortunately the cancer had spread and he only reached half way but his achievement of 5373km in 143 days raised so much support that charity runs are now held every year throughout Canada.


After successfully running a half marathon in Prince George in the late 70's Terry Fox realised he could achieve his goal of running from coast to coast.
The girls ran/waked 8km and Dad ran 14km.
