This year, schools can celebrate their event on Wednesday, September 29th safely, in the classroom, or they can take part in a classroom/individual “Try Like Terry” challenge.
Terry showed us all that anything is possible if you try. He reminded us all that we can make a difference in the world and help the lives of so many. Whether it’s a Challenge you try on your own, a classroom to classroom Challenge, or a Challenge for the whole school, it all supports cancer research.
To set up a fundraising page, follow the instructions below.
1. Set up Your Student or Classroom/team page

Every year thousands of students from across Canada take part in a Terry Fox class project. To make it easy for you, we’ve put together all our “Terry” resources in one place.
You can also celebrate your Terry Fox event this year by taking part in a “What’s Your 40?” classroom/individual activity. Click here for info on how to make it happen.
