Terry Fox

For over 30 years, the Trifolk Foundation promised Terry's vision, a world without cancer. Our researchers, our employees and thousands of volunteers have decided to achieve this goal. We are working hard every day to maintain Terry's ideals and values.

Terry Fox Runs is held annually in more than 9,000 communities throughout Canada to collect funds for cancer research. We will work directly with the Trickford Research Institute (research division of TFRI - Trifolk Foundation) to obtain the best results for cancer patients

The Terry Fox Foundation was established when it was separated from the Canadian Cancer Society in 1988. Since its founding, the Trifolk Foundation gathered over $ 750 million for cancer research. Currently, Terry Fox Runs is held every year, and there are many participants from all over the world. Run is a volunteer-led, all-inclusive, non-competitive event with no corporate sponsorship, remuneration or fund-raising. Terry announced these wishes before his death in 1981. The Trifolk Foundation has surpassed traditional running by hosting various other events. These activities include the National School Run Day, where the school runs Run to collect funds in commemoration of Terry, and The Great Canadian Hair "Do", a fundraising event that can be held all the year round.

Last week, Trimble celebrated its 30th anniversary after winning a Canadian medal. Many cities in Japan also held a Terry Fox commemorative event commemorating the 30th anniversary. Fox is still one of the most popular national heroes in Canada, but the heritage of that person is rarely subject to scrutiny. This is my opinion. I remember when I was in the third grade of elementary school, my elementary school teacher gave lectures on various people who should not be respected as heroism and hero to us. She said firmly that superheroes are totally impossible. To worship a fictitious person who designs incomplete or unsuccessfully is setting odd and unrealistic expectations. By contrast, the reason we respect human beings in the real world is precisely because of their imperfection. They can overcome their own shortcomings by pursuing larger ones and we can do the same.
