National School Run Day Participants

Thursday, September 30, 2010

The Terry Fox National School Run Day (NSRD) allows millions of students across Canada to join together in an inspirational nation-wide day of fundraising for cancer research. 

There is a special feeling in schools across Canada knowing that they join together in spirit with fellow Terry Foxers in communities as geographically distant as Cape Spear, Newfoundland, Victoria, British Columbia and Grise Fiord, Nunavut.  Our students know, just like Terry did in 1980, that distance is no impediment when you have the will to make a difference in the lives of our family, friends and neighbours. 

As a fundraiser, Terry was an innovator, providing millions of Canadians with the opportunity to contribute to a cause in a multitude of ways.  He believed in taking himself to the limit for the cause, and it is for this reason that we ask our students to make the best effort they can to fundraise.
