Terry Fox Run

All the A.R. Lord students and teachers attended the annual Terry Fox Run School Run Day at Hastings Park this year. Many school parents and families also joined in on the activities. The highlight of the event included a young teenage guest speaker who spoke about her own experience with cancer in her leg and how she has benefited from the advancements in cancer research through the Terry Fox Foundation. It was a beautiful day and a great cause that was supported by all the school and community.

Terry Fox Run 2015

The sun was shining on Wednesday September 30th for the A.R. Lord Terry Fox Run which is part of the 35th National School Run Day.  This year it was held across the way at Hastings Park.  Teachers and students were joined by family and friends who donned their sneakers and ran along side!

A special guest Mr. Darrell Fox, the younger brother of Terry Fox was also present on site. In 1980 at the age of 17, he joined Terry on part of the Marathon of Hope. He now serves as a Board Director and Senior Advisor for the Terry Fox Research Institute. It was an honour for all to hear directly from a family member of Terry Fox and the importance to continue to support and fund the research that is leading to improve the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of Cancer.
Everyone got into the spirt of the event and learned about Terry Fox and his legacy!

Walk to Rupert Park in the Rain

Dr. A.R. Lord  students, staff and families braved the soggy weather on Friday Sept 26th to participate in the School Terry Fox Run.  Everyone walked from the school to Rupert Park and then ran two laps around the park.  

The Terry Fox run is a school tradition and the rain didn't dampen the spirit of all the participants.  Terry Fox often ran in the most inclement weather day after day during the Marathon of Hope in 1980 which he undertook to raise awareness for Cancer and with the goal to find a cure.

PAC Snacks

Kids in Action

After the run, everyone was treated to a snack of juice and granola bar compliments of the Parent Advisory Council (PAC).



It was such a great opportunity to teach our children about this worthy cause and for all of to remember who Terry Fox was.

Class room lessons, fundraising and posters are also part of this campaign.  Well Done All!
