Every September, thousands of Albertans gather in towns and cities across the province to honour a national hero during the annual Terry Fox Run. In 1980, Terry Fox embarked on his legendary Marathon of Hope, running across Canada on an artificial leg to raise money for cancer research. Today, local non-competitive events keep his dream alive, bringing communities together to walk, run, wheel, or ride for a crucial cause. You do not need to be an athlete to participate—everyone is welcome, regardless of age or fitness level, and there is no entry fee. By joining a run in your local area, you help fund life-saving research while showing that one small step from each of us can make a massive difference in the fight against cancer.
