Off they go — The Drayton Terry Fox Run, organized by Melissa Gleeson, raised close to $10,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation. The event had bikers placed first, followed by runners and then walkers. Participants were asked to sign a paper before leaving and to scratch it off when they got back to ensure everyone came back safe.

Face painting — Activities such as face painting were available before the start of the Terry Fox Run in Drayton. Kiddos were sporting Batman, unicorns, dogs and others.
