US EditionLangley man makes epic run to fight cancer, inspired by Terry Fox
BRITISH COLUMBIA, JUL 7 – Fred Setterington aims to raise $10,000 over 21 days by running daily marathons inspired by Terry Fox to support cancer research and honor survivors and victims.
- Fred Setterington began a 21-day run from Langley Events Centre on July 7, running about 42 kilometers daily towards Kelowna and back.
- Setterington planned this run in 2023 but delayed it due to a partial Achilles tendon tear two years ago that required six months of healing.
- His run, called Hope's Marathon, honors his daughter and aims to raise funds for cancer, inspired by losing four parents to the disease over five years.
- Setterington, a teacher, trained seven days a week, has raised $6,000 so far, and stated Terry Fox has been a lifelong hero for him.
- The event highlights Terry Fox’s legacy of running half across Canada on a prosthetic leg to raise $1.7 million for cancer research in 1980.
