About 65 people took to the streets of Neepawa on Sunday, Sept. 20, to be a part of the annual Terry Fox Run.
Local run coordinator Kelly Krzyzaniak said $7,500 was brought in from the day, which raises money for cancer research and celebrates the memory of Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope. That result is on par with what was raised in 2014.
Krzyzaniak said that the weather was ideal and helped with the overall enthusiasm of the participants.
鈥淭he day was beautiful and everyone had a great time. And the money raised was a good result for a town of this size,鈥� noted Krzyzaniak.
This was the 35th year of the run. To date, more than $650 million has been raised globally for cancer research in Fox鈥檚 name.
