LIVE BLOG: Terry Fox 40th anniversary runs go virtual

On the 40th anniversary of the annual Terry Fox Run, cancer survivors and their loved ones took part in virtual events from Vancouver to India and all across Canada. However, instead of large crowds gathering for the Terry Fox event at parks, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, participants in Sunday’s milestone race walked, ran, swam and biked, their own way.
