Terry Fox Run
This year marks a major milestone in Canadian history. Forty-five years ago, Terry Fox set out on his Marathon of Hope, inspiring a nation and launching a movement that continues to grow. Let’s honour his legacy by making this our biggest year yet!
Loughborough Public School's 2025 Terry Fox School Run fundraising goal is $5,190; which is $1 more than last year! There are three ways you can help:
• By bringing in a “toonie” for Terry ($2)
• By sharing LPS’ or Homeroom online fundraising page with friends and family (https://schools.terryfox.ca/LoughboroughPSSydenham)
• By ordering a Limited Edition 45th Anniversary Terry Fox Run T-shirt through your School-Day.com account under ‘products’. Orders are due by Sunday September 14th. (Youth sizes: $25, Adult sizes: $30 +School Day Fee).
We are still in the planning process, so please watch out for t-shirt order forms in your School-Day account and Homeroom fundraising pages during the first week of September. Our School Run will be at the beginning of October. More information to come!

President
Vice president
Treasurer
Secretary
Indigenous family representative
Fundraising
