#DearTerry

On April 12, 1980, Terry Fox began his Marathon of Hope. When he stopped running, Canadians started writing messages of love, hope and inspiration.

Today, there’s a global call for #DearTerry messages, celebrating how Terry’s legacy continues to inspire people around the world.

Share your message for the chance to be featured in the campaign, including a commemorative #DearTerry poster designed by famed artist Mutant 101® to be released in association with the 2023 Terry Fox Run. The annual event has become a classic Canadian tradition every fall with more than 650 communities across the country coming together to fundraise for cancer research.
