The annual Terry Fox Run is a non-competitive charity event held in numerous regions around the world in commemoration of Canadian cancer activist Terry Fox.
The Marathon of Hope is held every year (since 1981), on the second Sunday following Labour Day and raises money for cancer research. Since its inception, it has raised via the ‘Terry Fox Foundation’ over $750 million (CAD).
