In the spirit of Terry Fox, Eagle River Secondary students head out into the rain Friday, Sept. 21, to run in the memory of the Canadian hero and his cause.
Before heading out, participating students at ERS took some time to learn about Fox and his legacy, including the annual run to raise awareness around cancer and funding for related research.
At Parkview Elementary, due to the rain, the running part of the day was limited to the school’s annual corn-shucking relay, held there each year in conjunction with the Terry Fox Run. As students ran to the corn shucking stations, other students waiting for their cheered and danced and helped keep up the momentum.
