Marymount Academy Kicks Off Terry Fox Walk with Powerful Message from Student

Posted on September 26, 2024October 2, 2024 by Erin Kendall

On Friday, September 20, Marymount Academy kicked off their annual Walk for the Terry Fox Foundation with an inspiring speech from their very own Regal Lily Yeomans. As a cancer survivor, Lily delivered a powerful message of hope, encouraging everyone to reflect on their own challenges.

“Perhaps you have your own obstacles,” she shared. “As you walk today, I hope you reflect on Terry’s Marathon of Hope and that it gives you the strength and perseverance to help you get through whatever obstacles come along your path.”

A heartfelt thank you to Lily for inspiring her peers and reminding us all of the power of hope and resilience!

In addition, thank you to the Greater Sudbury Police Service for their incredible support during the walk for Terry Fox.

St. Paul Catholic School Surpasses Fundraising Goal at Terry Fox Event

Posted on September 24, 2024September 24, 2024 by Erin Kendall

St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Elementary School proudly participated in the Terry Fox School Run last week. Over the past 11 years, the school has raised more than $23,000 in support of the Terry Fox Foundation. This year, they not only met but surpassed their fundraising goal of $800, coming together to raise over $1,400 for cancer research!

To celebrate this amazing achievement, eight lucky students got the chance to pie a teacher (and if they were lucky a principal) as a fun reward for their efforts.

A heartfelt thank you to the dedicated teachers and staff for organizing this event and supporting such an important cause. The Sudbury Catholic District School Board would also like to make a special shoutout to St. Paul staff members, Lisa Dubien and Julie Hayes, who have been leading this event for the past seven years. Thank you for all that you do!
