Fundraiser Archives - Marymount Academy

On Friday, September 20, Marymount Academy kicked off their annual Walk for the Terry Fox Foundation with an inspiring speech from their very own Regal Lily Yeomans. As a cancer survivor, Lily delivered a powerful message of hope, encouraging everyone to reflect on their own challenges.

“Perhaps you have your own obstacles,” she shared. “As you walk today, I hope you reflect on Terry’s Marathon of Hope and that it gives you the strength and perseverance to help you get through whatever obstacles come along your path.”

A heartfelt thank you to Lily for inspiring her peers and reminding us all of the power of hope and resilience!

In addition, thank you to the Greater Sudbury Police Service for their incredible support during the walk for Terry Fox.

In September, Marymount Academy orchestrated a school-wide walk/fundraiser, which supported two remarkable organizations: Northern Ontario Families with Cancer (NOFCC) and the Terry Fox Foundation. Their dedication to these causes was further inspired by their fellow student Lily, currently undergoing a battle against leukemia at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto. Lily’s story, which was shared with the school community, added a deeply personal touch to the event and fostered a sense of unity and camaraderie among Marymount’s school community.

Donations were raised throughout the week of Sept. 25 – 29th. On Thursday, October 26, the culmination of their efforts was marked with a cheque presentation. A sum of $1,250 was donated to Northern Ontario Families with Cancer (NOFCC), a testament to the school’s commitment to supporting families facing the challenges of cancer. In addition, a $100 contribution was made to the Terry Fox Foundation, underlining their commitment to the enduring legacy of Terry Fox’s courageous journey.
