Terry Fox Update from Terry Fox Particip-Action Day Chair Stan Rapkin

Terry Fox Run September 2019

Hi there Terry Foxers

Particip-Action Day has Come and Gone for this year,

but the planning for the 2020, 40^th Year of the Run has already begun.

For the past 14 years, The Rotary Club of North York has sponsored The Terry Fox Run in the Heart of North York, at the corner of Park Home and Beecroft, just west of Yonge Street.

The Club has raised, since beginning the sponsorship, up to last year, on average, about $16,000 annually, accumulating close to $225,000, all for cancer research.
The run always takes place on the 3^rd Sunday in September with registration opening at 8 am and starting at 8:30 am with final registration closing down at 11AM. Team Planning and Fund Raising starts early.

This year was particularly spectacular with an increase in Runners by about 50% and an almost doubling of the prior years averages. As of today, our online total is just under $30,000.00

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

Pictures of the Action Filled Day will be posted on the Rotary Club of North York website as quickly as possible. Please check your time slip to find your pictures.

All albums have been completed and are posted below.

Spring is fast approaching, and you are probably preparing for the yearly tradition of spring cleaning. Most will have a couple of old cell phones lying around, maybe an old TV collecting dust in a storage room, or some empty batteries in a desk.
