Lindsay Park students excel with Terry Fox Run
On Sept. 30, students at Lindsay Park Elementary School took part in the national Terry Fox School Run Day.
The students attended a short assembly where they viewed of video of Terry Fox and his legacy and then went for a run. Donations of toonies and loonies were accepted and several hundred dollars was raised.
Terry Fox often said it was the youth who would carry forth his efforts and work towards a world without cancer. Millions of students across Canada take part in the Terry Fox National School Run Day every year raising funds for cancer research, making it one of the largest fundraising events in Canadian history and one of the largest displays of solidarity this planet has ever seen!
Teacher Laurie Neeve organized the event, while Kimberley RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel and Cst. Hill supplied a police escort for the run.
After the run, the kids enjoyed a visit with officers and a quick view of the police vehicles.
