The annual Terry Fox Run was held in Yorkton Sunday, starting at the Gloria Hayden Centre. Here Candice Jesmer and Cameo Britton of team Re/MAX sign in prior to the event. The run, which has been held in communities across Canada for 35 years, drew a good number of participants who walked to raise awareness about, and funds for cancer research. In 1980, Terry Fox started his Marathon of Hope run across Canada in support of Cancer research. Fox ran some 26 miles per day gaining support and media attention along the way. The cancer amputee was forced to stop his run in northern Ontario when his cancer returned. Fox ran 3,339 miles in 143 days.Calvin Daniels
