After a successful fundraising weekend, 91大黄鸭 has now raised more than $1 million for the Terry Fox Foundation.
鈥淭hank you to everyone from 91大黄鸭 and across Canada who laced up their shoes and carried on Terry Fox鈥檚 incredible journey and mission to raise cancer awareness and funding for cancer research,鈥� said 91大黄鸭-Lake Country MLA and event organizer Norm Letnick in a Facebook post.
Between 1985 and 2020, just over $990,000 had been raised in 91大黄鸭, with this year pushing local efforts over the $1-million milestone. So far, this year鈥檚 online donations have tallied up to more than $25,000.
The event was held online this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic but Letnick said he鈥檚 looking forward to planning a return to an in-person run next year.
鈥淚 wanted to extend a very sincere thank you and congratulations to our community for everything they have done to help carry on Terry鈥檚 life-changing work and continue his legacy as a Canadian hero.鈥�
