The Terry Fox Run is held annually in memory of Canadian athlete Terry Fox, who lost his leg to cancer and ran 3,339 miles across Canada in 1980 to raise awareness and funds for cancer research.
His journey, known as the "Marathon of Hope," was cut short when cancer spread to his lungs, but he raised CAD $24m, achieving his goal of one dollar for every Canadian at the time.

In 1981, the first Terry Fox Run was organised by Four Seasons founder Isadore Sharp, and today there are more than 9,000 annual runs worldwide, raising more than £50m in total.
The UK Terry Fox Association collaborates with the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), ensuring all funds raised in the UK contribute to local cancer research.
For those interested in participating, free registration is available online, and 2024 Terry Fox T-shirts can be purchased with or without registration.
More information about the event and participation can be found on the Four Seasons Hampshire website.
The hotel encourages everyone to join in the run, supporting a cause that has touched many lives and continues to make strides in the fight against cancer.
The Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire, located in a restored 18th-century manor on a 500-acre estate, offers a blend of heritage and modernity.
The hotel provides guests with opportunities to explore English gardens, ride horses, or relax in its spa.
