Over 220 communities and 4000 schools across Ontario will take part.
Provincial Director of the Terry Fox Run, Martha McClew tells 570 News Terry Fox ran through our area back in 1980 and has had a lasting impact on those living in Kitchener, Cambridge and Waterloo.
“Everybody takes the Terry Fox Run and makes it so personal. It’s for a loved one that’s survived…or they’re doing it in memory of a loved one and those are tremendously emotional teams.”
The Waterloo run is in its 33rd year and has raised more than $900,000 to date!
Since the run started in Kitchener, $60,000 has been raised, and for the past 33 years $500,000 has been raised in Cambridge.
