Kuala Lumpur, 27 October 2022 – The Terry Fox Run returns this year for its 42nd anniversary to mark the fight against cancer and will see people from all walks of life rally around cancer research.

This year’s run will be held at Kepong Metropolitan Park, Kuala Lumpur on Sunday, 18th December 2022 at 7.30 a.m. The general public is encouraged to participate in this non-competitive 3.3 km family oriented fun run. Participants can either run, jog, walk, skate or even dance your way towards the finish line.

Launching this year’s run at the Four Seasons Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, High Commissioner for Canada Wayne Robson said, “Terry was a young Canadian who set out to raise funds for cancer research and who represented the best of Canada in his courage, humility and determination. Although Terry could not finish his Marathon of Hope, he has inspired millions across the world to take up the fight against cancer. I am pleased to invite Malaysians to be part of that cause today with the launch of the Terry Fox Run here in Kuala Lumpur.”

We would like to thank everyone for their generosity and goodwill and we hope that more corporations and businesses will support our cause for the future free of cancer.
