Terry Fox Run

Annual charity running race in honour of youngster Terry Fox, who lost his leg to cancer. To raise money for medical treatment, in 1980 he went on a race across Canada, which he called the 'Marathon of Hope'. He ran for 143 days at 42 kilometres a day, but unfortunately, he was unable to finish because the illness returned and took his life at the age of 22. His family decided to continue the tradition and launched a campaign to raise money for cancer, which takes place every year in Canadian cities, organized by Canadian embassies and in 67 countries around the world, including this one in Croatia.
