Eleven-time Grand Slam winner Leander Paes showed his support to the 12th edition of the Terry Fox Run.
With around 60 schools participating in Sunday's run, it will be a tribute to Terry's legacy and help keep his dream of a cure for cancer alive. The run will kick off from Air-India building (Nariman Point) to Marine Drive Flyover and back to Brabourne Stadium.



The Run is a non-competitive event where people get together to raise money in Terry Fox's name. In 1977, when Fox was 17 years old, he was diagnosed with bone cancer and had to have his right leg amputated above the knee.

Despite chemotherapy sessions, Fox never complained about himself but couldn't stand seeing others suffer so he had a dream and started training to run across Canada to raise funds for Cancer research. On April, 12, 1980 he began by dipping his artificial foot in the Atlantic Ocean and started this amazing journey, which he called Marathon of Hope.
