Terry Fox/Welcome Back Assembly is today!
Forty-five years ago, Terry Fox set out to run across Canada—with one leg and a heart full of hope. He ran a marathon a day to raise money for cancer research, proving that determination can move a nation. Terry didn’t finish his run, but he sparked a movement that still inspires millions. Terry started a Marathon against cancer and together, we can finish it.
See you today at the assembly to honor the legend, Terry Fox.
