Volunteering at the Terry Fox Run

In Sept. 19, I volunteered for the Terry Fox Run. The volunteer meeting was at 8:15 a.m. in front of the YMCA located on 101 3 St SW, so I woke up early in the morning. The weather was really bad – it was raining and freezing, but the runners were warming up regardless.

The volunteers’ job was monitoring and guiding where the runners are going and also making sure that cars are not driving onto the course. I was at 4 St with my friend. The volunteering was very hard because of the weather but I cheered up because many of the runners thanked me for volunteering.

When you help or support someone, you would feel happy and great for volunteering! I think that is why people do it. I was volunteering outside for about 4 hours but I didn’t feel tired at all. I felt cold but not exhausted. The Terry Fox Run was awesome!!!
