Run. Celebrate. Support.

One of Canada's most famous personalities, Terry Fox lost his leg to osteogenic sarcoma at age 18, underwent 16 months of treatment and found he could not ignore the suffering he witnessed in the cancer wards. Terry decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research in a Marathon of Hope.

After his death in 1981, the run continued to raise funds for cancer research. To date, over $1 Billion has been raised worldwide through the Terry Fox Run and you are invited to join in!
