History of Terry Fox Run
The First Terry Fox Run
The first run was held on September 13, 1981. More than 300,000 Canadians across the country participated at 760 Run sites to raise C$3.5 million for cancer research in Terry’s name. Since it started in 1981, the Terry Fox Run has become the largest single-day fundraising event for cancer research held anywhere in the world. Each year, more and more people around the world respond to Terry’s dream of finding a cure for cancer.
Terry Fox Runs in Singapore
Here in Singapore, the past Terry Fox Runs have been tremendously successful. In the last twelve years, over S$2.7 million has been raised in aid of cancer research. What started as a small event with 300 runners raising awareness and funds for cancer research in 1993 has grown steadily throughout the years. To date, over 70,000 runners have participated in the annual Singapore Terry Fox Run.

Hi Penguin. You should join this run as it is for a good cause. :)
This run clashes with Malaysian 24 Hrs Walk in Genting Highland. I hope Terry Fox Run in KL doesn't clash with other run. I collect Terry Fox T-Shirt since 2001. They are very inspiring. :)
Yup...I'll definitely join the run...wanted to join the run for years...but last year was my first time...
Seems like there r a lot of run events on that day...but I'll stick to the terry fox run ;)
