Terry Fox Run Is This Sunday
The 2002 Terry Fox Run Is This Sunday And 89 Cents From Every Dollar Will Go Toward Cancer Research
The 22nd Annual Terry Fox Run will take place this Sunday, September 15th.
Before Terry died, he knew that an annual event would be held to commemorate his Marathon of Hope. The first Terry Fox Run in 1981 attracted 300,000 participants across Canada and raised $3.5 million. To date, close to $300 million has been raised for cancer research in Terry’s name.
An Unprecedented 89 Cents From Every Dollar Will Go Towards Cancer Research
Any expenses incurred when organizing a Run must be donated. No money raised by the Run itself may be used to cover these expenses. The Terry Fox Foundation makes every effort to ensure that the funds donated in Terryís name make it to their intended destination-Terry Fox cancer research grants.
The Run is a non-competitive event where people can walk, jog, run, bike, roll or stroll; getting together as individuals, families and groups to raise money while celebrating Terry Foxís legacy and helping to keep his dream of a cure for cancer alive.
As Terry said in 1980: ìI want to set an example that will never be forgotten.î
The 2002 Terry Fox Run will take place this Sunday, September 15, 2002. For more information phone 1-888-TFOXRUN or visit the Terry Fox Run website.
