At the Terry Fox Foundation Annual General Meeting, William Pristanski was re-elected as chair of the board of directors. In his chair’s report, Pristanski highlighted the excellent work done by the staff and the thousands of volunteers across Canada as they convert this year’s Terry Fox community runs to virtual events – One Day, Your Way.
The Foundation is proud to support the Terry Fox Research Institute’s (TFRI) efforts to establish the Marathon of Hope Cancer Centre Network. This project will bring precision medicine for Canadian cancer patients.
