Braves Run the Terry Fox Run

Kathy Hoang, Grade 10, SJB

The Terry Fox Run at St. Jean de Brébeuf Catholic Secondary school has always been a success. This year, over 300 Braves participated in this world-changing event that took place right outside our school. These same students raised over $9,200 for cancer research, the best in six years. 

The Braves carried the same spirit and determination that Terry Fox himself carried 29 years ago on his own run, the Marathon of Hope. Many students went out with the intention of making a difference and they have. The money donations will go to cancer research, and finding a cure for those who need it.

Terry Fox said, “Even if I don’t finish, we need others to continue. It’s got to keep going.”

Terry Fox had said those words 30 years ago. SJB students are doing just that; they are continuing Terry’s dreams, and they are doing it with heart and compassion.Go Braves!
