It’s the time of the year again to campaign for cancer awareness. Please don’t miss this meaningful event if you can. It’s just 2-3 hours of your time on a refreshing Sunday morning, but it’s going to mean alot to cancer patients nation wide.
Here are the 2008 Terry Fox Run for KL’s details:
Date: 2 November 2008 (Flag off 9.00 am)
Venue: Taman Tasik Perdana (Lake Gardens).
Participants are to be at the assembly area by 8.45 am.

I would suggest getting your Terry Fox Shirts before the event. Usually, 2-3 weeks prior to the event, -there’ll be announcements by the organisers on “Collection Booths” around Klang Valley. Last year, I remember there were booths in Bangsar Shopping Complex and Jalan Ampang’s Citibank. Will post the information if I get winds of it.
Also, arrive early to avoid traffic jam. Car pool if possible.
Bring your own water and avoid drinking from the Milo van. Most of the runners last year had very bad stomach ache after consuming the “Sihat dan Kuat” beverage, including yours truly.
Also, I would suggest that the organisers and event sponsors avoid giving out plastic bottled waters since the amount of rubbish and plastic waste generated is very un-eco-friendly.
Nope, there’s no official website this year for Terry Fox Run for KL 2008. Surf to www.terryfoxrun.org for more info. It’s a pity, we’d a great fun helping to run the site last year :~(
