Participation was up and so was the amount of money raised.
As Dauphin hosted the Terry Fox Run/Walk on Sunday at Vermillion Park, more than 60 community members made the event a part of their days. That number is significantly higher than in previous years and Stephen Roznowsky was thrilled with how the day went.
"The day was fantastic and the weather was wonderful," said Roznowsky. "I want to thank CKDM for airing it before the event, it certainly increased interest and participation. We had a great two days at Coop before Sunday, it was fantastic."
The numbers are in and they smashed last year's total as roughly $6,100 was raised this year. That's $2,000 more than last year and Roznowsky wants to thank the community for their great support.
"That felt wonderful, I started back in 1999 and this was our best year yet," ended Roznowsky. "We used to raise a couple of hundred dollars at the start and to raise more than $6,000 this year, it's just incredible. Thank you to Dauphin."
Since its inception in 1981, over $850 million has been raised for cancer research in Terry's name through the annual Terry Fox Run/Walk, which is held across Canada and around the world.
