Under mostly sunny skies and amid temperatures in the high 20s, roughly 1,100 participants descended on Springbank Park in London to raise over $92,000 to support cancer research.
Organizers of the local Terry Fox Run report that number will climb higher still as late pledges and matching donations are still coming in. Of all funds raised, 82 cents of every dollar goes directly to cancer research.

Over the life of the run, more than $3 million has been raised in London alone.
Sunday’s fundraising run also saw the presentation of an artist’s rendering of the proposed Terry Fox memorial, which is expected to be completed by September 2018.
