Carleton\u2019s Healthy Workplace (HWP) Officer, Samantha Munro, participated in the run with a team of Carleton HWP employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a beautiful day and I was pleasantly surprised to see the large number of people who came out to participate,\u201d said Munro. \u201cThere were people of all ages and many families came together. It was well organized and clearly had the support of the community. I loved seeing the volunteers along the course cheering people on. The energy of everyone involved was amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Terry Fox Foundation is still retroactively receiving donations in the name of the Ottawa Terry Fox Run and final totals for 2018 are not yet available.<\/p>\n\n\n
