Terry Fox run will be Sept. 20
September 10, 2015 · 0 Comments
The Rotary Club of Palgrave will be holding its annual Terry Fox run Sept. 20.
The community is invited to Stationlands Park on Brawton Drive at Regional Road 50 to take part in the event to raise money for cancer research.
Palgrave participants raised $10,492 last year, an important part of the $12 million dollars raised across Ontario. Since 2000, the community has raised $120,955 for the Terry Fox Foundation for cancer research.
The run will start at 9 a.m., but there will be a free breakfast, served by Rotarians, starting at 8. Participants have the opportunity to run, walk or bike for up to 10 kilometres along the Caledon trail. The Palgrave firefighters and the OPP will be there to assist as well.
Donations and pledges can be made on-line at www.terryfox.org/Run (run site number 2164). Pledge sheets are also available at various stores and locations in the Palgrave, Caledon East and surrounding areas. Bring pledge sheets (including on-line ones) to the event. Registration will start at 8 a.m.
For more information, contact Tom Fuller at 905-880-3774 or [email protected]
