The annual Terry Fox Run has raised over $8,000 for the foundation in this weekend’s event.
In its 35th year of operation the foundation is on pace to raise $1 billion by its 40th anniversary for cancer research.
The run’s organizer for Kapuskasing, Peggy Anne Endean says the small town has raised over $200,000 in the twenty years a run has been held there.
She says the run draws in people from all over the area.
Endean says the run isn’t all about the money from pledges; just participating helps raise awareness for cancer research.
