IMPORTANT UPDATES:
I have completed 9 segments of my FiftyForFox Canadian Tour! Starting on March 26,2022 in my hometown of Montreal, Quebec, completing my run at the Lachine Canal, followed by the beautiful harbour city of Halifax, Nova Scotia on April 1, just before an east coast snow storm at the iconic National Historic Site of the Citadel! Thank you to all my generous supporters. If you have not already done so, please consider making a donation, I can't reach my goal without you! To follow my journey and for any updates, please follow me here. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! Run number three was completed on May 15 along the Rideau Canal National Hsitoric Site and Run number 4 was in Calgary, Alberta at Heritage Park on June 4. Runs 5&6 were back to back in the prairies. The Forks, another Parks Canada National Historic Site in Winnipeg, Manitoba on August 31 and Regina, Saskatchewan at Wascana Lake on September 1, coinciding with the same day in 1980, when Terry had to stop his run in Thunder Bay. Run number 7, was very purposeful in St. Johns, Newfoundland, where I decided to run the National Terry Fox Run on September 18, at Quidi Vidi Lake. St. Johns was kilometer 0, where it all started for Terry. It was a blustery day, just before Fiona hit the maritimes. Runs 8&9 were also back to back in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island on October 29, at Victoria Park and October 30, in Fredericton, New Brunswick at Odell Park. There has been so much symbolism over the course of my journey, with important dates coincidng and the special people I have met along the way.
Please mark your calendars for my final run in Vancouver, British Columbia on February 11, 2023 on my birthday! Here I come Darrell Fox! Let's do this!

My FiftyForFox birthday fundraiser is a concept I envisaged to celebrate my fiftieth birthday. I will run a 10KM in every province, once per month, wrapping up in Terry's home province of British Columbia with a marathon! Because of evolving protocols associated with COVID, I will be giving myself a little over a year to complete. This is an important milestone to achieve my next half-century goals.
As you know, The Terry Fox Foundation is very near and dear to me. 24 years never missing a Terry Fox Run! Over the last decade, I have participated in a number of Terry Fox events and have been privileged to meet Terry's family members, who are exceptionally dedicated and kind. Terry is my hero. Thinking about his courage, fortitude and resilience have got me through some of my darkest days of loss.
This year will mark 30 years since I lost my mom and 13 years since I lost my dad to cancer. It has taken me a long time to reconcile the loss and grow from my experience. Although my goal of 50K is ambitious, I know I can do it with you!
