The Terry Fox Run is a national event in honour of the Canadian icon. Here's details for Burnaby's event at Swangard Stadium.
As of today, Sept. 10, one week ahead of the local event of the Terry Fox Run, organizations have collected more than $18,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation.
And the total is still climbing, according to the national fundraiser's website, to which the money will be earmarked for cancer research.Local residents, businesses and organizations have come through once more with generous donations, but none more than Bailey Jung, who's raised $13,050 since the start of the campaign.
Hundreds are expected to run, job, walk and even wheel around Swangard Stadium next Sunday, Sept. 17, many of whom might be wearing the special #DearTerry t-shirts designed by B.C. actor Ryan Reynolds.Those that prefer to participate on bicycles, wheelchairs, scooters and even rollerblades are encouraged to do so. Residents may bring their dogs, but are not allowed to in the stadium.
While subject to change, Weatherhood says Burnaby is likely to see sunny skies next weekend with temperatures hovering between 20 and 25°C.
