COMING UP
Run Fox Run
Terry Fox ran across Canada with only one leg
while battling terminal cancer. If he can do it,
so can you: Join the Terry Fox Run to run in his
memory, run for cancer research... or walk, if you
want: It’s 3, 5, or 10km of family fun. The whole
thing is run by volunteers, so the money you’re
donating goes straight to research. There are hot
dogs and performances when you’re done, too.
Nov 7, 10am. Renaissance College, Ma On Shan.
