The first Terry Fox Run of 2016 happened in Swift Current this past Sunday.

Sonia Brooks, local Terry Fox Coordinator, says 26 participants took part in the windy weekend event.

The run boasts low administration costs, with $0.84 of each dollar going straight to cancer research.

The Sunday run raised over $1000 for cancer research.

Individual schools in Swift Current will be holding their own runs for those still wishing to donate.
