Terry Fox Run RAK 2018.... Run for Cause Terrance Stanley "Terry" Fox CC OD (July 28, 1958 – June 28, 1981) was a Canadian athlete, humanitarian, and cancer researchactivist. In 1980, with one leg having been amputated, he embarked on an east to west cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research. The spread of his cancer eventually forced him to end his quest after 143 days and 5,373 kilometres and ultimately cost him his life, his efforts resulted in a lasting, worldwide legacy. The annual Terry Fox Run, first held in 1981, has grown to involve millions of participants in over 60 countries and is now the world's largest one-day fundraiser for cancer research; over C$ 750 million has been raised in his name, as of January 2018. The Terry Fox Run is an annual non-competitive charity event held in numerous regions around the world in commemoration of Canadian cancer activist Terry Fox, and his Marathon of Hope, and to raise money for cancer research.. . . . . . . #TERRYFOXRUNRRAK #trf2018 #rasalkhaimah #terryfoxrun #runforcause #cancerfoundation #charityrun #canada #humanitarian #marathonofhope (at Cornich, Ras Al Khaima)
