Calgary students lace up for Terry Fox School Run
Thousands of Calgary students laced up for the Terry Fox School Run on Friday.
Among those taking part was 10-year-old Easton Beatch, who was diagnosed with brain cancer in July.

His mother Amanda is a teacher there and she helped staff and students dedicate this year's run to Easton.
More than $3,000 dollars was raised for Kids Cancer Care in Calgary.
