A combined total
of RM89,520 was raised by Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur
and Four
Seasons Resort Langkawi from this year’s Terry Fox Fun Run.
The
cheque was presented to Andy Khoo, CEO of Cancer Research Malaysia (right) today by
Simon Barnett, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel KL (left) and Ivan Giles, General
Manager of Four Seasons Resort Langkawi (centre).
Held
in May and June this year, the two hotel teams along with over 1,350 guests turned
out in full force to participate and support the Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope which is celebrating its 45th
anniversary in 2025.
Initiated
by the late Terry Fox who lost his leg
to bone cancer in 1980, the then 22-year Canadian ran 5,374 kilometres across
Canada raising CAD 24 million and spurred greater awareness of his vision for a cancer-free
world.
Four Seasons founder Isadore Sharp made a commitment to uphold Terry’s legacy and today, more
than 12,000 Terry Fox Memorial Runs take place around the world annually,
supported by Four Seasons in several locations.
