This year marks the 43rd anniversary of Terry Fox Runs across Canada. Once again, the Kingsville site is offering a virtual run and in person run. If you wish to participate with other Terry Foxers, meet at Lakeside Park 10:30 am on Sunday, September 17th!
Maps and participation certificates/decals will be available. Terry Fox T-shirts will be on sale all summer at Willow Tree Market and Kingsville Open Streets on Saturday, July 15 and August 19 from 5-7:30 pm. (Adults $25 and Youth $20).
Last year our Kingsville site raised $8,417. I hope that with our online auction and participants’ fundraising Kingsville and area residents as well as businesses will take up the challenge to raise over $10,000 this year.
You can bid online on our 56 items on Maxsold.com auction #84157 using the link below. Bids open at 5 pm on Monday, June 19 and end on Wednesday, July 5 at 8 pm.

Kudos to all of our supportive Kingsville area businesses for your generous donations.
You can run, walk, bike, urban pole, skateboard or any other activity anywhere, anytime of the day you choose on September 17th to support our Kingsville site. The theme this year is “Dear Terry” highlighting all of the letters that Terry received during his marathon of hope and when he was hospitalized.
Think of what Terry went through daily, as he averaged a marathon a day on his journey. Certainly, each of us can devote some time, money and energy to honour our Canadian hero!
