Year after year, the Terry Fox Run in Penticton gets bigger with around 200 people coming out to the Rose Garden on Sunday morning.

Wearing Terry Fox T-shirts, and wearing a sticker for who they are running for, the people who participated ranged in age from just a few months old to all the way into their 80s. Many brought their four-legged companions too.

For Penticton Terry Fox Run organizer Kevin Harvey, the turn out was a good feeling.

Steve King, local race announcer also volunteers his time to bring the racers in at the Terry Fox Run.

The goal of the Penticton run was to raise $4,000. By Sunday afternoon, they had already exceeded that goal, raising $5,000. There is still time to donate

Terry Fox set on his Marathon of Hope in 1980 and covered 3,339 miles and raised $23.4 million for cancer research, before losing his battle with cancer on June 28, 1981, just one month before his 23rd birthday.
