Hundreds of Calgarians joined thousands of others across Canada Sunday for the annual Terry Fox Run.
Cancer supporters turned out at four different runs in Eau Claire and McKenzie Towne, raising $190,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation.
It's been 32 years since Terry Fox attempted to cross Canada on a Marathon of Hope.
His race ended in northern Ontario but millions of Canadians have picked up where he left off to raise money for cancer research.
