Terry Fox Run Total Released

The money has been counted from area school's participation in last month's National Terry Fox School Run Day.

More than 16-thousand dollars was raised by students and staff with the Rainy River District School Board during the September 25th event.

Along with their participating in the walk, schools also raised money for cancer research through donations and bake sales.

Schools were held assemblies to celebrate the legacy of Terry Fox, while some students heard first hand from a local cancer survivor.
