On September 23, St. Patrick's Community School will take part in our annual Terry Fox Run.

Terry Fox was a young Canadian who lost his leg to cancer when he was 18 years old. Instead of giving up, he began the Marathon of Hope in 1980, running across Canada to raise money for cancer research. Although he was unable to finish his journey because his cancer returned, Terry inspired millions of people around the world. Every year, schools and communities continue his legacy by participating in Terry Fox Runs and raising funds for cancer research.

We are inviting all students to bring toonies or spare change between now and September 23 to support the Terry Fox Foundation. Every donation—big or small—helps fund life-saving cancer research and is a meaningful way for our students to live out our Catholic call to care for others with compassion, generosity, and hope.
