Our Story

Canada Week began in 2005 as a celebration of hockey and Canadian culture. Over the years, it has grown into a multi-faceted event raising over USD $200,000 for cancer research.



Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope continues to inspire millions.

Diagnosed with bone cancer at 18, Terry ran across Canada to raise funds for cancer research.

To date, the Foundation has raised over $850 million globally for cancer research.
