Terry Fox Run Needs Help

The Terry Fox Foundation is putting out a call for someone to organize this year's Terry Fox run in Fort Frances.

The Fort Frances Volunteer Bureau has done the work in the past.

The Foundation's Community Events Coordinator Kim Smith says the Bureau's still interested in providing support, but can't do it alone.

"We have materials that can be shipped to the volunteers all throughout the summer months so that posters can be up, t-shirts can be sold and people can advertise the Terry Fox run," says Smith. "The Volunteer Bureau is willing to help but they need help as well."

Smith says Fort Frances area residents have raised almost $150-thousand through the runs since 1993.
