Sudbury area residents are invited to mark September 18 on the calendar to take part in the 42nd annual Terry Fox Run
More than 40 years have passed, but the annual Terry Fox Run is as much a part of an annual tradition as it ever was, and that is as true in Greater Sudbury as it is anywhere else in Canada.
It will be the same across Canada as many older Canadians remember the day Terry Fox ran through their town and how his legacy has had a lasting impact on the effort to beat cancer. Terry Fox died on June 28, 1981. The first-ever Terry Fox Run was held later that year in more than 800 communities across Canada. The annual run has now become part of the Canadian cultural landscape.
Dutrisac is encouraging people to be as generous with pledges for this year's event as they have been in the past. The organizers have set this year's target at $10,000.
