Pick a Daily Goal, Do it Every Day in September, #NoMatterWhat
Submitted by Betty Hastings
Do you participate in the Terry Fox Run every year? Why not switch it up this September and take on a 30 Days of Terry challenge!
Terry Fox is my hero. I’ve done the Terry Fox Run every year since my mom, Edna Hastings, died of cancer. Five years ago, on the 30th anniversary of her death, I decided to #TryLikeTerry and do 10 km every day in September. A few friends joined me—and Team 30 Days of Terry was born!
What’s the challenge?
It starts on September 1st. Pick a daily goal—2 km, 5 km, 10 km or 10,000 steps—and do it every day in September, #NoMatterWhat.
Walk, run, hike, bike or paddle. Mix it up and have fun! Our doggos, Huron, Bosco, Otto and Frankie, especially love the hiking days. We also like to invite donors on daily activities.
Terry ran 42 km a day for 143 days to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. We can #TryLikeTerry and do our part to #FinishIt.
Not sure what goal to choose? Try 5 km! It’s our 5th Team Challenge, and 5 km is a great goal to #FinishIt.
The 30 Days of Terry journey is officially underway.
We kicked things off on September 1 with a hike – if you’re interested in learning more about the experience, the team and what’s ahead throughout the 30 days please reach out.
Miss a few days? No worries—you’re still on the team! The goal is to #TryLikeTerry and do as many days as you can.
Last year, our team raised over $6,000 for cancer research. Let’s see what we can do this year!
Come on, Northern Bruce Peninsula! #TryLikeTerry #NoMatterWhat #FinishIt
