On Sunday, Sept. 18, the annual Terry Fox Run took place. Organized by Kelly Krzyzaniak, the 5 km Neepawa run saw 79 runners and seven volunteers raise $6,700. The course for the run started on the NACI track, following it around to the northeast corner of the school area, where participants got onto William St. From there, the runners headed west onto Mountain

Ave., then south until Boundary St. The runners followed Boundary St. all the way until Fifth St., where they turned and headed down to their halfway point at Dairy Queen. When they arrived, runners were greeted with water and ice cream courtesy of DQ. After the short ice cream break, the runners headed one block east on Highway 16 to Fourth St. From there, they headed all the way back to Boundary, then back to Mountain, finally turning down Hospital St. to make it back to the NACI’s track.

At the end of the course, runners were given a cookie. There was also a draw for Terry Fox t-shirts as well as other Terry Fox ‘merchandise’. “Everything is donated and that’s part of the mandate of the Terry Fox Foundation,” Krzyzaniak said about where they got the food and other items. “It’s volunteer driven and volunteer run. There’s no commercialization of the Terry Fox Run which makes it unique amongst a lot of the fundraising runs,” she added. Continued on page 15
