This year marks the 44th anniversary of Terry Fox runs across Canada. Once again, the Kingsville site will be at Lakeside Park at 10:30 am on Sunday, September 15th.

Maps and participation certificates will be available. T-shirts are still available at Main Street Pharmacy.

Last year our Kingsville Site raised $16,153.

I hope that through our online fundraising and silent auction, Kingsville and our neighbouring communities will take up the challenge to raise even more money this year.

Congratulations to our silent auction winners who raised $562 with their bids at Kingsville Community Centre.

Special thanks to Estate of Health, Green Heart, Kingsville Golf Club, Mary Kathryn Ladies Shop, Movati Kingsville, The Main Grill and Ale House, and Warkentin Plumbing for your generous gift cards.

You can run, walk, bike, urban pole, skateboard, or do any other activity anywhere and anytime of the day you choose on September 15th to support our Kingsville Terry Fox Run.

If you can’t make it that day, you can always do a virtual run on any day of your choice and your online donations will still be credited to our Kingsville site.

The theme this year is “No Matter What” highlighting how Terry never quit — no matter the distance, obstacles, journey or odds!

Register as a participant or create a team (family, friends, work team) and/or make a donation to our Terry Fox Run Kingsville site at: http://run.terryfox.ca/kingsville.

We are asking all participants this year to collect their pledges online in advance in order to make check in on run day smoother and hassle-free.

Let’s make Terry and Kingsville proud!! See you at Lakeside Park on September 15th.
