Hundreds gathered at Canatara Park Sunday for the annual Terry Fox Run.

Leo Arts, who successfully went through cancer treatment in 2006, has taken part the past seven years.

The 84-year-old says family and friends travel down for the day, forming a team of about 40 members dressed in orange.

The run celebrated its 35th year nationally Sunday and the 34th in Sarnia.

5 and 10 K run/walk/roller blade events began at 9am.

Locally, the event raised over $84,000 for cancer research last year.
