An Enduring Legacy

“It took cancer to realize that being self-centred is not the way to live. The answer is to try and help others” ~ Terry Fox. In 1980, Terry Fox inspired millions when he ran his Marathon of Hope to raise funds for cancer research. His legacy continues to inspire courage, determination and compassion. Join us on August 3rd for songs and readings of hope and perseverance to create positive change.
