35 years ago Terry Fox began his Marathon of Hope, now today communities across the nation run in support of his Foundation.

Coming up on Sunday, the annual Terry Fox Run will take place in Canada including right here in Humboldt. The event, which is open to register in by donation will begin at the A & W on Highway 5 at 1pm.

On Thursday at the Humboldt Scotiabank a fundraising bar-b-cue will take place drumming up support for the local run. It goes from 11-1:30.

Other local communities holding runs on Sunday are Foam Lake, Imperial, Jansen, Watrous and Wynyard.

There is also a School Run Day planned for September 30th, a number of local schools will be taking part in that event as well.

To date, over $650 million has been raised worldwide for cancer research in Terry's name.
