Terry Fox Walk 2021

Once again, St. Marguerite d’Youville is pleased to be hosting its “Terry Fox Walk” on Tuesday, September 28, 2021. We at St. Marguerite d’Youville continue to have two very important goals for our walk; to have all of our students be able to articulate why Terry has become such a historic figure within our Canadian history and to raise funds, in his memory, towards his dream of one day finding a cure for cancer. Through our participation, we hope that students will be able to view themselves as agents of positive change.

Toward these goals, we at St. Marguerite d’Youville will be asking our JK – Gr. 8 students to bring in an optional $2.00 cash donation (in a clearly-marked and sealed ziplock bag with the words “Toonie for Terry”) on Tuesday, September 28 (rain date is Wednesday, September 29). Alternatively, parents/guardians may go on-line and donate to: https://secure.terryfox.ca/registrant/TeamFundraisingPage.aspx?TeamID=943238. Please use this link as the link sent home in the hardcopy letter is not working. This will take you directly to the St. Marguerite d’Youville school page. Please click “Donate” and fill out the required information. You may also leave an inspirational message, if you so choose. Today, both the Terry Fox and the Walking Excursion forms went home with your child. Please have both signed and returned to school no later than Monday, September 27. Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions, we will not be allowing parents to join us on our walk this year. We are very proud to be associated with the Terry Fox Foundation and believe that our involvement will be such a positive launch to our school year. Let’s keep Terry’s dream alive! Thank you again for your support.
