The famous fun run to fund and raise awareness for cancer research, founded by Canadian cancer victim Terry Fox, is returning to Malaysia after a six-year hiatus.

Fox, who lost his leg to osteogenic sarcoma at 18, decided to run across Canada in 1980 to raise funds for cancer research in a “Marathon of Hope”.
