CHESTERVILLE — Sixty-two walkers, runners and cyclists powered their way Sunday to a $10,401 tally for the Terry Fox Foundation, in the annual local fundraiser organized by the Rotary Club of Chesterville and District.
The Club’s 37th Terry Fox Run again operated out of North Dundas District High School as the starting point on a loop that sent participants on an 11-km loop around Maple Ridge, Rae, Baker and Ball roads.
The Run saw the return of many regulars, including large teams comprising the Mulder and Dixon families. Also taking part again was Charles “The Corn Man” Grey, pushing a walker as his feet are still recovering from an incident of severe frostbite last winter.
Those taking part snacked on the Club’s provided cheese curd, bottled water and, courtesy of Cross Construction, apples.
