Volunteering is one of the many ways a person can broaden their horizon, try new things and increase their knowledge, social network and get to know their community better by taking what they have experienced and giving back.

In 1980 Terry Fox begins his cross-Canada run to raise awareness and funds for cancer research on April 12. His run came to an end 143 days and 5,373 km later, near Thunder Bay, ON, after his cancer spread to his lungs. To date, nearly $500 million has been donated to cancer research in Fox’s name.

By 2010, the event is being hosted in more than 50 communities in Canada, and it raises over $33 million annually.
