WE'RE TAKING TERRY'S DREAM ON THE ROAD. JOIN US!
“How many people ever get a chance to do something they really believe in?” – Terry Fox
Like Terry in 1980, Terry’s brother Darrell has a dream as big as our country. And this summer, Darrell will pay tribute to the 45th anniversary of Terry’s Marathon of Hope with another epic journey: the National Ride of Hope. Think of it as Terry’s dream…on wheels!
In June, 2025, a small but mighty peloton, including Darrell, will cycle 7,000 km from Vancouver to St. John’s. It’s an ambitious journey with an equally ambitious goal: to raise $1 million for innovative cancer research.
The Team will depart from the iconic Terry Fox sculptures at BC Place, in Vancouver. They’ll spend the next 32 days making their way across this vast, beautiful (steep!) country. On July 10, they’ll arrive in St. John’s, Newfoundland, where Terry began his Marathon by dipping his artificial leg in the Atlantic.
In communities all along the way, local cyclists will be invited to join the peloton.
On your bikes, get set, GO!
