Apr 15, 2021 | 9:04 AM

Results from the 2021 Terry Fox School Run are now in and Clearview Public School students have once again, inspired and made the community proud.

District officials say Clearview Public Schools is proud of both staff and students as they work hard each year to organize and participate in the Terry Fox Runs in support of this worthy cause.

Officials describe Terry Fox’s story as a defining piece of Canadian history which has become an integral part of the Alberta curriculum. This year, students of Clearview Public Schools raised $24,115.80 with Stettler Elementary School raising over $11,000.

In 1980, Terry Fox set out on a mission to transform his dream, to find a cure for cancer, into reality.

“It takes enormous strength to conquer an obstacle as big as cancer,” reads a statement from Clearview Public Schools. “Terry never faltered in his determination and perseverance and we are honoured to see Clearview Public Schools bring the same strength and spirit to this fight.”

“For 40 years, Terry Fox runners have amazed us with their passion, raising over 800 million dollars for cancer research,” the statement continues. “These vital funds are accelerating precision medicine approaches and connecting field researchers in ways never thought possible under the Marathon of Hope Cancer Centre’s network.”

Fox once said, “Anything is possible if you try.”

The Foundation’s message is that the road ahead may be unknown and unlike any that we have ever been on, but together, we will take it one step at a time – just as Terry did.
