These days, good news is something to celebrate – and we hope this email will bring a smile to your face! The results from our 2019 Terry Fox School Run are in and we are pleased to announce that 72 schools from Edmonton Catholic Separate School District No. 7 raised an incredible $70087.87 for cancer research. (Please let me know if you would like to view a detailed report). We really can’t thank you enough for your support of The Terry Fox Foundation, helping us make great strides in the fight against cancer.
In 1980, Terry Fox set out on a mission to transform his dream, to find a cure for cancer, into reality. It takes enormous strength to conquer an obstacle as big as cancer. Terry never faltered in his determination and perseverance and we are honoured to see Edmonton Catholic Separate School District No. 7 bring the same strength and spirit to this fight. For 40 years, Terry Foxers have amazed us with their passion, raising over 800 million dollars for cancer research. These vital funds are accelerating precision medicine approaches and connecting field researchers in ways never thought possible under the Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres network.
As we approach the 40th anniversary of Terry’s Run, in this uncertain time, we hope you will take inspiration from Terry’s attitude during the Marathon of Hope – resilient, determined, hopeful. The road ahead may be unknown and unlike any that we have ever been on, but together, we will take it one step at a time – just as Terry did.
