The Fraser Valley Métis Association (FVMA) is excited to share the success of Abbotsford’s Terry Fox Run, which took place on September 15, 2024, at Mill Lake. We are proud to announce that together, we helped raise $3,000 for cancer research!
The event began with a heartfelt opening by Ronald Modeste from Sumas First Nation, followed by inspiring words from Dean Gladue, MNBC’s Minister of Sports and Active Living and some words and a song from FVMA Vice President and President. A special thanks goes out to ISPARC for leading a lively warm-up and stretching session to get everyone ready for the walk/roll/run.
Participants enjoyed the beautiful 2.5 km walk around Mill Lake, with some motivated individuals completing over 4 laps!
We want to give a special shoutout to our eldest runner, who impressed us all at 82 years old!
Everyone was delighted by the delicious food provided by Wingerz, which helped fuel our day of fun and community connection.
We extend our gratitude to Métis Nation BC, ISPARC, Wingerz, First Aid Attendants, the Abbotsford Canucks, and all the incredible volunteers who made the event run smoothly.
Thank you to everyone in the community who came out to support this meaningful cause.
We look forward to seeing you again next year!
