2023 Kingsville Terry Fox Run on Sunday, September 17th

This marks the 43rd anniversary of Terry Fox runs across Canada. Once again, the Kingsville site is virtual with an in-person option of meeting at Lakeside Park (off Cull at the parking lot entrance) at 10:30 am on Sunday, September 17th.

Maps and participation certificates with decals will be available. Please collect and submit your donations online prior to the run.

Terry Fox T-shirts are on sale at the Willow Tree Market (adults $25 and youth $20). Wristlets are also being sold for $2 each — “Toonie for Terry” — there and at Pelee Island Winery’s tasting bar.

Last year, Kingsville raised almost $8500.

I hope that with our $1660 from our online auction and online fundraising, Kingsville and neighbouring communities and businesses will take up the challenge to raise over $10,000.

You can run, walk, bike, skateboard, urban pole or do any other activity anywhere, any time you choose or join us at Lakeside Park.

The theme this year is “Dear Terry” — highlighting all the letters he received during his marathon of hope and in the hospital. If our Canadian hero can run a marathon a day for us, surely we can do 5 km in his honour!

Register as a participant or create a team (family, friends, work ) and/or make a donation at terryfox.org (Kingsville site) today.

If you’re looking for a team to join, you can choose my MFit team.

Looking forward to doing my 43rd run and seeing you on Sept 17th.

Let’s make Terry and Kingsville proud!
