Terry Fox Run/Walk Returns This Weekend

Stephen Roznowsky has organized the Terry Fox Run/Walk for 25 years.

Since returning to Dauphin in 1999, Stephen has been front and centre for the Dauphin event and this Sunday will mark another edition of the yearly fundraiser. This year's Terry Fox Run/Walk will take place on Sunday at 11:00 a.m. at Vermillion Park. 

"I am very excited to once again be a part of this fundraiser," said Roznowsky. "The tagline this year is 'No Matter What'. It's going to be great and the weather looks like it will cooperate for us."

Registration on Sunday will begin at 10:30 and ahead of that, you can get yourself all signed up and donate to the cause. Stephen and his crew will be at the Dauphin Coop Food Store on Thursday and Friday collecting donations and registrations from 11-6. 

Should you decide to donate, you will receive a tax receipt and there will also be draws for prizes at Coop.

While you can certainly run for the entirety of Sunday's event, Stephen says you don't have to.

"They can run, they can rollerblade, they can bike, they can walk, whatever they want," ended Roznowsky. "I had an elderly female call me the other day to ask me if she could bring her walker and I said absolutely, anything works."

You do not have to donate to take part; however, donations are encouraged. 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.
