Terry Fox Run for Cancer Research

The 2012 Terry Fox Run in support of Cancer Research will be held on Sunday, September 16th at the Blackville Municipal Park starting at 2:00 pm.

The Terry Fox Run is an annual non-competitive charity event held in numerous regions around the world in commemoration of Canadian cancer activist Terry Fox, and his Marathon of Hope, and to raise money for cancer research.  The Terry Fox Foundation, founded in 1988, has raised over $600 million for cancer research. Currently, Terry Fox Runs take place every year with many participants from all over the world. The Run is a volunteer led, all-inclusive, non-competitive event with no corporate sponsorship, incentives or fundraising minimums. Terry laid out these wishes before his death in 1981.

Register your team online or make a donation at the Blackville Park on Run day. Blackville Park is accessible to wheelchairs, strollers, bikes and rollerblades. Dogs on leashes are welcome.
