Terry Fox Run

Terry and Isadore

The Terry Fox run is held in many regions around the world in commemoration of Canadian cancer activist Terry Fox, and the Marathon of Hope, and to raise money for cancer research. The Terry Fox run was founded by Isadore Sharp, Isadore Sharp had lost a son to cancer in 1979 and Isadore contacted Terry and asked if he could host a run dedicating to the marathon of Hope, the Terry Fox Run was held every year, the first was in 1981. The Terry Fox Foundation has raised over $600 Million dollars, The Terry Fox Foundation was founded in 1988 after it split from the Canadian Cancer Society. Participating is the most important in this run, during terry's cross-Canada run he turned down every support for he felt that it would reduce the value of his goal of creating public awareness. When the event happens people can go as creative as they want to raise money for Terry's Cancer Research such as shave their heads, dye hair, leg wax, and ask friends or families to shave their heads.
