Early morning rain didn't damper Sarnia's 39th annual Terry Fox Run last Sunday.
Organizer Laurie Rome said over 300 people attended the event in Canatara Park.
"We had a pretty good turnout and a little bit of rain, but it didn't seem to bother anybody," said Rome. "We raised $43,952 at the end of the day."
In 2018 the local event generated $37,711, while $85,696 was raised across Sarnia-Lambton.
About 100 people took part in the Alvinston run September 15, raising $44,370, about $115 more than in 2018.
In Petrolia $15,000 was raised.
Proceeds go to the Terry Fox Foundation for cancer research.
