Be part of the annual Terry Fox Run in Fort Saskatchewan this week.

The annual event takes place this Sunday, Sept. 17, at West Rivers Edge park. Registration starts at 9:30 a.m., with the run starting at 10 a.m..

The annual event celebrates the accomplishments of the famous Canadian one-legged runner who raised millions for the fight against cancer.

The Terry Fox Foundation has been raising money for cancer research for 40 years, gathering more than $400 million for the cause. The foundation uses 13 cents of every dollar raised for administrative and fundraising expenses.

Fort Saskatchewan organizers hope to raise $8,000 this year. Bicycles, rollerblades, wheelchairs and dogs are welcome for the five or 10-km routes.
