Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai has announced the 9th Annual Terry Fox Run for cancer research, taking place on Saturday, 8 October 2005. Terry Fox, a young Canadian who lost his leg to cancer, set out to run across Canada to create awareness and raise funds for cancer research world–wide. He ran for 143 consecutive days and completed an average of a 26 mile Marathon distance each day, a heroic act that defies scientific reasoning. Terry changed people’s attitudes towards the disabled and had them derive inspiration from his courage. As cancer claimed his leg at age 21, it didn’t take away his unstoppable spirit. He had fierce determination, which took him to the limit.
