Co-Organizer - September 2005
Before Terry died, he knew that an annual event would be held to commemorate his Marathon of Hope. It would be called, appropriately, The Terry Fox Run.
The first Terry Fox Run in 1981 attracted 300,000 participants across Canada and raised $3.5 million. To date, more than $400 million has been raised worldwide for cancer research in Terry’s name.
September 2005 saw the 25th Anniversary of Terry’s legacy, and the first time the National School Run was done at the same time across the whole country. Victoria played host to the CBC Headquarters and National Telecast of this event. In addition, Rob Reid, local businessman, unveiled a bronze statue of Terry which was later placed at what would have been his final destination on his journey.
Andrea worked with Sheri Donovan on the logistics and behind the scenes initiatives that brought such huge success to this event, and allowed 3000 local elementary students to be involved in the day’s events at Mile Zero.
