REGINA — In one month, on Sept. 20, the 46th annual Terry Fox Run will take place in over 525 communities across Canada.
This annual fundraiser has generated over $1 billion to date to support cancer research.
In 2025, the 45th anniversary year, the Terry Fox Run saw significant increases in fundraising dollars raised across Canada, breaking numerous community fundraising records. With finalized numbers being released earlier this summer, in year-over-year calculations, Saskatchewan Communities raised 29 per cent more than the previous year.
In fact, Saskatchewanians, through their community and school runs brought in a record breaking $1,130,663 raised from our 1.266 million population.
In 1980, 22 year old Terry Fox stated, “When I started this run, I said that if we all gave one dollar, we’d have $22 million for cancer research, and I don’t care man, there’s no reason that isn’t possible. No reason.”
Terry asked for $1 from every Canadian and each year we have been striving for that goal. This is the closest we have been.
In 2025, 21 communities in Saskatchewan knocked the per capita ratio out of the park, going above and beyond Terry’s $1 per person challenge. Saskatchewan took the No. 1 and No. 2 spots in per capita across Canada and had five communities in the top 20.
We need all of Saskatchewan to give to help us keep our position and go over the $1 per person mark in 2026. Help your neighbours by donating just a little more. One extra dollar will cover their portion, help those you can. Cancer knows no boundaries.
Donate in honour of someone you know who had cancer, organizers urge. Donate in honour of everyone you know who doesn’t yet have cancer. Two in five people will eventually get the disease, help us stop it before it ever reaches them, the organization says.
