Established since 1993, this event organized by the Four
Seasons Hotel Singapore, the Regent Singapore, a Four
Seasons Hotel, the Singapore Cancer Society (SCS) in cooperation
with the Canadian High Commission aims to raise funds
for important cancer research. This annual event is considered
the "single largest and longest-running event"
for cancer research in Singapore.
Run for Hope 2007 is inspired by the courageous story
of Terry Fox, a Canadian teenager, who despite an amputated
leg due to bone cancer, ran a 'marathon of hope' across
Canada to raise funds for cancer research, so that one
day a cure could be found. Terry ran an equivalent of
one entire marathon a day (42 km) for 143 days. When he
was a little more than half way across the country, he
was forced to stop running because cancer had spread to
the rest of his body. Terry Fox passed away in 1981, at
the age of 22.
We will not stop until a cure for all cancers have been
found. Join us on this fun filled day to raise awareness
and funds for Singapore Cancer Research.
See you at Run for Hope 2007!
