I’m running this 10km fundraiser on September 16th! Please help me reach my $1000 goal.

Terry Fox is by far my all time sports hero. Think about it: challenged by a deadly cancer and amputation, he was motivated to run a marathon every day, day after day, to raise funds and awareness for cancer research. I have never even run a single marathon! In 1980 he courageously started out on his Marathon of Hope at the age of twenty-two when most young men his age are living a carefree life, oblivious of the devastating effects of cancer. After 143 days and 5373 kilometres, his Marathon was ended by a return of the same cancer, ultimately costing him his life the following year. Since 1981, the Terry Fox Run has raised over $750 million for innovative cancer research with one of the lowest not-for-profit fundraising cost ratios in Canada. That means that the vast majority of your donation goes to directly to cancer research. We all know someone who has been affected by cancer; here is your chance to help make a difference! Your donation will impact the lives of so many people living with cancer. Thank you for considering helping me with this fundraiser.

I’m supporting the Terry Fox Run. I invite you to do the same!
