Thursday, June 13, 2024 Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur hosts its 2nd Terry Fox Fun Run on August 11, 2024. Join runners, joggers, and walkers to support Cancer Research Malaysia. Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur is excited to host its 2nd official Terry Fox Fun Run on Sunday, August 11, 2024, starting at 7:00 am.

The hotel invites runners, joggers, and walkers of all ages to join this event in support of Cancer Research Malaysia. Participants can complete the 5-kilometre run at their own pace along DBKL’s Sunday car-free route. Everyone, including spectators, is encouraged to purchase a Terry Fox Run t-shirt from the hotel’s website, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to Cancer Research Malaysia.



The Terry Fox Run originated in 1980 when 22-year-old Terry Fox, who had lost his leg to bone cancer, embarked on a 5,374-kilometre journey across Canada to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. Despite harsh weather conditions and personal challenges, Terry continued his Marathon of Hope until he was forced to stop due to cancer spreading to his lungs. He passed away the following year, having raised CAD 24 million for cancer research.

Inspired by Terry’s determination and dream of a world without cancer, Four Seasons founder Isadore Sharp pledged to continue Terry’s mission. In collaboration with several sponsors, he organized the inaugural Terry Fox Run in 1981, attracting over 300,000 participants. Today, more than 12,000 Terry Fox Memorial Runs are held gl.
