The Terry Fox Foundation

Nearly 1 in 2 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. For 40 years, we have worked hard to achieve Terry’s vision – a world without cancer. Terry’s vision unites us and inspires our research excellence, innovation and creativity. Our research institute is a collaboratively oriented, pan-Canadian organization focused on improving cancer research outcomes for the benefit of cancer patients everywhere. We want to ensure that today’s best science becomes tomorrow’s affordable medicine.

There is no other non-profit organization in Canada that consistently rates as high as The Terry Fox Foundation (TFF) in the hearts and minds of Canadians. With over 10,000 runs and events in 32 countries each year, the legacy and story of Terry Fox offers unprecedented opportunities to tell the story of this Canadian icon, promote the significant impact of The Terry Fox Foundation, and inspire generosity.

Becoming a Terry Fox volunteer is an incredibly rewarding experience.  You will be helping to keep Terry’s message of hope, courage and determination alive and you will be giving back to your community. Our Terry Fox Runs are 100% volunteer run, so we are always on the lookout for passionate Terry Foxers to help us out.
