Message from the Terry Fox foundation: The final results of the 2021 Terry Fox School Run are in and we are immensely proud of our dedicated schools for their commitment to fundraise for cancer research in Terry’s name. We are excited to share with you that Ecole Sir William Osler raised $3,250.75 this year! During another challenging year, your resiliency and dedication to Terry’s dream of a world without cancer shone through brighter than ever!

After treatment, Terry began his Marathon of Hope by dipping his leg in the Atlantic Ocean in Newfoundland on April 12, 1980.

Terry died in June of 1981. To date, over $715 million has been raised in Terry’s name for cancer research.
