SFU Terry Fox Run
Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope showed what one person can do to inspire a country, but its impact depends on each new generation choosing to carry it forward. At SFU, participating in Terry Fox Day connects our community to a legacy that started here and continues to fund life-changing cancer research, with over $1 billion raised by the Terry Fox Foundation worldwide. With cancer affecting so many in our community, this event is a way to contribute to progress and support those impacted. To finish what Terry started.
