Terry Fox Run exceeds target by over 50 per cent

Yesterday's Terry Fox Run exceeded its funding raising target by over 50 per cent.

The Terry Fox Run Cochrane (TFRC) organizing committee says that number may climb slightly higher but as of yesterday afternoon they had raised $31,235, a staggering 50 per cent increase over its former high-water mark in fundraising for cancer research in Terry Fox’s name.

The TFRC has set a goal of $20,000, the amount they raised in 2023.
