“I’ve said to people before that I’m going to do my very best to make it, I’m not going to give up. But I might not make it… if I don’t, the Marathon of Hope better continue.”

That's one of the many quotes made famous by Terry Fox, and it still rings true.

This past Thursday, Riverview Collegiate Institute and Westmount School got together to hold their own Terry Fox run, with some help from members of the Moose Jaw Police Service.

"We still honour what he did for everyone else, for cancer [research], and raise money with his name on it because he did such a good thing," Cadence Schinold said, one of the students involved in the run.

It wasn't exactly the warmest of days, but students, officers, teachers, and staff all bundled up after spending the past couple of weeks raising money for the Terry Fox Foundation.

"Terry Fox is one of our Canadian Icons and obviously pretty much any person probably has a relative or a family member or friend that's had cancer or knows somebody who has cancer, and it's great for the students to kind of make that connection," Riverview teacher James Irving said.

This is one of the many Terry Fox runs that was organized for residents of Moose Jaw.
