It was a perfect day for participants to take part in the annual Collingwood Terry Fox Run on Sunday September 16th in Harbourview Park. Participants arrived for the 1pm start and walked, ran, skated and biked through the course.

The first Terry Fox run was held in 1981 and attracted approximately 300,000 participants across Canada, raising $3.5 million dollars.

Before Terry Fox died, he knew that an annual event would be held to commemorate his Marathon of Hope. In Canada, the annual Terry Fox Run is held every September, usually on the second Sunday following Labour Day. As Terry said in 1980: "If you 've given a dollar, you are a part of the Marathon of Hope." To date, more than $400 million has been raised worldwide for cancer research in Terry's name.
