Dibs Barisic Sprem and Jenny Ivany cross the finish line at the 2025 Terry Fox Run on Gabriola Island, during a rain shower which started when participants were halfway through the run. This year’s run saw islanders donate $14,225, the second highest amount raised since the Terry Fox Foundation started tracking donations from Gabriola in 2000. (The highest was in 2020 when islanders donated $15,100.) Left photo: this year’s Team Terry member, Jennifer McKeown, speaking to participants about their cancer experience. This year marked the 45th Anniversary of the Terry Fox Run in Canada. Donations can continue to be made to the Foundation on behalf of Team Gabriola. Select ‘Gabriola’ online at run.terryfox.ca
