Kingsville participants in Terry Fox Run 2023

Terry Fox’s 43rd anniversary run in Kingsville on Sunday, September 17th was another beautiful, sunny day and a huge success.

We doubled our fundraising from last year and raised a whopping $16,148!

Kudos to our 110 participants and volunteers who made it possible to surpass our best fundraising initiative to date.

This is an example of what can be done when a community rallies together for a common cause supporting the “Dear Terry” theme this year.
