Bangalore, September 08, 2025: Canadian International School, Bangalore (CIS), in association with the Terry Fox Foundation, is set to host the Terry Fox Run on Saturday, September 20, 2025 at its campus in Yelahanka. The run will begin at the CIS campus, moving around the Manchenahalli lake in Yelahanka, and ending at CIS. The Terry Fox Run is a non-competitive, global charity event held in memory of Canadian cancer research activist Terry Fox and his legendary Marathon of Hope, which continues to inspire millions worldwide. Hundreds of participants from various schools, colleges, and organizations across the city are expected to take part in this 5k run.
Canadian International School has proudly hosted the Bangalore chapter of the Terry Fox Run and this year marks the 15th year of the run. The school aims to raise around ₹25 lakhs this year, in support of cancer research at Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai and with all proceeds going towards cancer research in India.
The Terry Fox Run at Canadian International School, Bangalore (CIS), is open to all, students, teachers, parents, and guests from across the city. Participants can choose to walk, jog, cycle, skate, or run at their own pace. Registration is free, and everyone is encouraged to contribute to cancer research by making an online donation to the Terry Fox Foundation or purchasing an official TFR T-shirt.
“This event is a celebration of Terry’s extraordinary legacy and a reaffirmation of CIS’ commitment to the fight against cancer. It brings our community together with a shared purpose, working towards a cancer-free tomorrow. Each year, we witness students, parents, educators, and friends stand shoulder to shoulder for this cause, a reminder that collective action can make a lasting impact. Our goal at CIS is not just to raise funds, but to inspire hope and resilience in the face of adversity, just as Terry did.” said Ms. Shweta Sastri, Managing Director, Canadian International School.
The Terry Fox Run is inspired by the courage and determination of Terry Fox, who in 1980 embarked on the Marathon of Hope, running a marathon a day across Canada with a prosthetic leg to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. His journey demonstrated that even the most challenging goals are achievable and continues to inspire millions worldwide to support the fight against cancer.
