21.09.2014. Terry Fox Run @ Jarun Lake

Come out and support the 15th Annual TERRY FOX RUN to be organised in Zagreb, September 21st at Lake Jarun (14:00 - 18:00). We all need to continue Terry's dream and support Cancer Research to find a cure for this deadly disease.

Terrance Stanley "Terry" Fox was a Canadian athlete, humanitarian, and cancer research activist. In 1980., with one leg having been amputated, he embarked on a cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research. Although the spread of his cancer eventually forced him to end his quest after 143 days and 5,373 kilometres, and ultimately cost him his life, his efforts resulted in a lasting, worldwide legacy. The annual Terry Fox Run, first held in 1981., has grown to involve millions of participants in over 60 countries and is now the world's largest one-day fundraiser for cancer research.

Last year in Zagreb more than 5000 people participated and more than 4,5 million kuna was donated.
