Twenty-five years after his death at the age of 22, Terry Fox remains a hero to all Canadians. After losing one leg to bone cancer at 18, he started his “Marathon of Hope” - a run across Canada - to raise money for cancer research and encourage people suffering from the disease. He died after running 5,373 km in 143 days. But his dream has been taken up by others, and Terry Fox charity runs now take place in over 50 countries around the world. Proceeds of this event will go to cancer research institutes in Japan and to the Terry Fox Foundation.
■ Details and registration forms are available from the Terry Fox Run office at Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo Chinzan-so.
