We ran the Marathon of Hope 2008
by Roy Tan | Add your comment!

One place, one moment, more than 9,000 people. This year’s Terry Fox Run Marathon of Hope saw one of its best turnouts in Malaysia. Participants from all walks of life came together at this inspiring annual charity run to raise funds in aid of cancer research.
 
The run is named after Terry Fox, a young man who was diagnosed with bone cancer at the age of 18 years and had his right leg amputated above the knee. While in hospital, Fox was so moved by the suffering of the cancer patients, especially the children that he resolved to run across Canada (a distance of 8,500 km) to raise money for cancer research. He called this journey the “Marathon of Hope”. He ran a marathon (42 km) a day for 143 consecutive days – a total distance of 5,373 km – before he was forced to abandon his run because the cancer had spread to his lungs. He passed away at the age of 21. His dream is now carried in the hearts of the more than two million people who participate in the Terry Fox run each year around the world.
 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
In Malaysia, the Terry Fox Run KL has raised more than RM1 million since 2001, with last year’s contribution totaling more than RM276 000. Globally, since 1981, the Terry Fox Run has raised more than RM1.3 billion in aid of cancer research around the world.
