Big running events have gone virtual

London's paved pathways have been much quieter of late. Events such as the Terry Fox Run held last week have gone virtual. People are encouraged to participate in an activity of their choosing. No big masses of runners are to be seen. Social distancing reigns supreme.

But the lack of a proper event does not seem to have cut into the donations collected to fight cancer. A friend, whose daughter has a team in the Terry Fox Run, easily blew past her goal. She raised 177% of her original goal. That converts to $3270 more in donations.
