What is a Team Captain?
Every group needs a leader, someone who motivates, inspires, energizes and organizes – and has a great time doing it! Terry Fox Team Captains make participating in the annual Terry Fox Run fun, memorable and impactful through timely registration, engaging and encouraging communications and appreciation for the efforts of all. Teams have a big impact on The Terry Fox Run thanks to leaders who care about cancer research.

What our Captains say
Consolidated Credit is committed to “working together to outrun cancer” because many employees have had cancer touch their lives. “So many Canadians have been affected by cancer and we want to be a part of the solution,” says Jeffrey Schwartz, Executive Director, Consolidated Credit Counseling Services of Canada. Consolidated Credit is looking forward to participating in the Terry Fox Run in September.
We are excited to participate again in 2016 and we’ll be back with a bigger team. Cancer impacts everyone, and all of us on the team will be running in honour of loved ones we have personally lost, and to celebrate those who have been victorious in the battle. Terry may have started this dream but the baton has been passed to all of us, and we must continue until a cure is found.
