The distance between Kakabeka Falls Public School and the Terry Fox Memorial and Lookout is approximately 50 kilometers. To celebrate the inspiring Canadian hero and his dream to find a cure for cancer, the school community created a unique fundraising activity by initiating the on-site project “Walk Terry to Kakabeka Falls”.
The schoolyard perimeter is half a kilometer, therefore between students, staff, and family members, the school community covered the distance 100 times to mimic a fraction of the distance Terry Fox accomplished, and to symbolize bringing Terry Fox to the community. The school is pleased to have more than doubled its fundraising goal of $1,000 and brought in over $2,500 for the The Terry Fox Foundation. Congratulations!
