YORKTON - The Terry Fox Run was marked by Good Spirit School Division staff Friday. 

The staff relay ran from Miller School in Melville to MC Knoll School in Yorkton to celebrate Terry and gain a small appreciation for his sacrifices,” explained Miller principal Chad Lechner.   

The run commenced at Miller School in Melville at 8:45 a.m., and proceeding down Highway 10 to Yorkton arriving at MC Knoll around 1:00 p.m..   

Staff members from Miller, Melville Comprehensive and MC Knoll were involved in the run.   

“The goal of the run was to become role models for our students and create an awareness of what Terry Fox accomplished,” said Lechner. 

“As the years pass – 42 -- we must hang on to all that Terry did.” 

While fund-raising was a by-product of this endeavor it is not the primary goal, he added.
