Terry Fox Run KL 2008

I reluctantly woke up at 6.45am last Sunday morning to join the Terry Fox run. If not because of a friend who tagged along, I might not turn up at all :P Well, no regrets. The event was so successful as there were thousands of people who took part and I bet most of them enjoyed themselves. I bought the T-shirt @ RM25 and it's for a good cause. All proceeds will eventually go to CARIF, a cancer research foundation.

About Terry Fox Run

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 intense 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 who participate or donate to the Terry Fox Run each year around the world.
