The annual Terry Fox Run has become a fall tradition in Canada, with nearly 600 communities, big and small, urban and rural, English and French, fundraising for cancer research. This year, please participate, fundraise, and support someone you love on Sunday, September 15! Nearly 2 in 5 Canadians will face cancer during their lifetime. Terry never gave up, and neither will we. Together, we’re forging a path to a future where cancer is no longer a threat. Becoming a Terry Fox volunteer is an incredibly rewarding experience. Not only will you be sharing Terry’s message of hope, courage and determination, 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. Please email us at volunteer@terryfox.org or call 1-888-836-9786

There are approximately 500 known PIs, which are genetic disorders where part of the immune system is either missing, or not functioning properly.  This leaves people prone to infections, and fighting them off is much harder.  Many people with PI also have a predisposition towards co-existent auto-immune disorders, where the immune system targets healthy tissue, leading to inflammation and further ill-health. Our volunteers have varied roles, including: board members, medical advisory committees, support group facilitators, Facebook moderators, patient story-tellers, and of course, our much valued event volunteers.
