Next week Columbia students will be taking part in the school’s annual Terry Fox Walk-a-thon.
On September 30th, students will walk from Hamilton’s Pier 4 to the Ainsliewood building to honour Terry and to raise funds for cancer research. In participating, students learn about Terry Fox and his journey, and gain a better understanding of the importance of helping others and perseverance.
Last year Columbia raised over $23,086.73 and is hoping to exceed that amount this year.
