Volunteer Opportunity: Terry Fox Run Organizer (Nova Scotia)

Location: Communities Across Nova Scotia

Time Commitment: Flexible, Seasonal (April to End of September)

Terry Fox Foundation

The Terry Fox Foundation stands as one of Canada’s most iconic and impactful charitable organizations, rooted in the extraordinary legacy of Terry Fox. In 1980, after losing his leg to osteogenic sarcoma, Terry embarked on the Marathon of Hope—a cross-country run to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. His journey, marked by courage, resilience, and unwavering determination, captured the hearts of Canadians and inspired a nationwide movement.

Although Terry’s run was cut short after 143 days when his cancer returned, his dream lives on. Today, the Terry Fox Foundation continues to uphold his vision by funding innovative cancer research and inspiring millions through his story.

With over 10,000 annual Terry Fox Runs held in communities across Canada, the Foundation plays a vital role in fostering national unity, promoting health and wellness, and advancing scientific discovery. For over four decades, the Foundation has united Canadians in the pursuit of a world without cancer.

Every donation, every step taken in Terry’s name, fuels groundbreaking research and brings hope to millions. Joining the Terry Fox Foundation means becoming part of a legacy that dares the impossible and works every day to make it possible.
