The Dubai Terry Fox Run proved a huge success on Friday morning at Dubai Festival City where thousands of participants gathered to raise funds for cancer research projects and awareness.
Around 8000 people took part in the run to raise over Dh200,000 which will be directed to projects taking place in the UAE.
“We had Aga Khan Scouts band who opened proceedings. It’s become a tradition of the event, they’ve been with us the past few years and every year they kick off the programme.”
The Dubai Terry Fox Run has helped complete 26 research projects from 1998 to present, and the funds raised yesterday will be directed towards seven ongoing projects.
