Terry Fox Run for Cancer Research 2024

Run with Aris

Join the team!

Dear friends,

The Terry Fox Foundation is hosting a 5K walk/run in Central Park on Saturday, October 5, 2024, to raise funds for cancer research.

We invite you to join us and be a part of the team "Run with Aris," showing your support to Aris and his family.

As Aris and his family plan to walk / run, it will be a wonderful chance for our children to be together.

Registration for the race is free, and donations are optional. Please note that any optional donations will go directly to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), supporting their work in leukemia research, not to Aris' family.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Event Information
