Terry Fox Students at Chippewa took part in the Terry Fox Run today (Tuesday) and one student brought in almost $1600 by himself.

Grade 8 student Ian Ramsey says he just went door to door in his neighborhood and gave a simple pitch.

He says “Hi, I’m doing the Terry Fox Run, I’m wondering if you would pledge me.”

He adds it’s the most he’s raised and he was happy to do it.

Chris Cassidy is the organizer for the run at Chippewa. He says this year a lot of students put in the extra effort to raise money.

He says “we had a lot of students raise a lot more money. We usually have students bring in about $20, but this year we had a lot of students bring in around $100. It was excellent to see so many motivated individuals.”

The students at Chippewa raised approximately $4,000 this year.
