New organizers, a different route and good weather attracted over one-hundred people for Sunday's Terry Fox run in Fort Frances.
A total of $11,528.23 was raised for the Terry Fox Foundation, compared to the over $11-hundred raised last year.
This year's run was organized by members of the Church of the Holy Spirit with participants walking along the Fort Frances waterfront.
Area schools are likely to add to the total as they will hold separate runs in the near future.
Run spokesperson Cheryl Wolfe says some Terry Fox run t-shirts are still available by calling 274-7074.
In Atikokan, seventeen people raised a total of $2,382.10 in an event organized by the local TD Canada Trust branch.
Last year 42 participants helped raise about $22-hundred.
This was the 30th anniversary of Terry's Fox's Marathon of Hope.
