Organizing the Terry Fox Run in Wingham has been a labour of love for Dale and Linda Edgar. The residents of Gorrie took on the role of putting the fundraising even together after losing their daughter to cancer after a 15 month battle.
From about a month after her passing in 1987 and for 34 years after that they have played their part in making this National Fundraiser in the Memory of Terry Fox happen in Wingham.
The event has grown from 70 participants to having as many as 200 people crossing the finish line at the event. The Wingham Terry Fox Run has raised over 5 hundred 60 thousand dollars in total to date.
The Wingham Terry Fox Run is a virtual one this year with participants taking their own routes this Sunday all in support of cancer research.
