Terry Fox Run KL 2011 will be held on 13th November 2011.
This is 31st Anniversary of The Terry Fox Run. It is a milestone unimaginable without the support of so many people. There is so much to be done yet we must always celebrate our victories - of which there have been many.
Date: 13 Nov 2011, 09:00AM
Location: Padang Merbok, Jalan Parlimen, Kuala Lumpur
Distance: 3.6 km
This is a non-competitive family run event.
Information
Terry Fox knew personally, the importance of the need for cancer research. At the age of 18, he was told that his right leg had to be amputated above the knee as a result of bone cancer.
During this crucial period, Terry saw the intese pain and despair of other cancer victims and was deeply moved. In order to raise funds for cancer research, he decided to run across Canada asking for donations. This became "The Marathon of Hope".
Terry Fox died before he could complete his crusade, but his legacy is carried in the hearts of all wo participate or donated to the Terry Fox Run each year around the world.
How the Marathon of Hope began:
Since it began in 1983, the Terry Fox Run has become the largest, single-day, fund-raising event for cancer research. Here in KL, the organizers aim to continue the quest to keep Terry's dream alive.
This year with the support of sponsors and participants, we hope to raise both funds and awareness for cancer research here in Kuala Lumpur. The beneficiary in previous years and this year as well is the Cancer Research Initiatives Foundation (CARIF).
You too, can take up the quest so that Terry's dream of finding a cure for cancer can become a reality.
