Terry Fox Run 2009

Terrance Stanley "Terry" Fox, CC (July 28, 1958 – June 28, 1981) was a Canadian humanitarian, athlete, and cancer treatment activist. He became famous for the Marathon of Hope, a cross-Canada run to raise money for cancer research, which Fox ran with one prosthetic leg. He is considered one of Canada's greatest heroes and is celebrated internationally every September as people participate in the Terry Fox Run, the world's largest one-day fundraiser for cancer research.

Last Sunday, my husband and I participated in the Terry Fox Run 2009 at Lake Garden. This is my first time participating, but Rafiq's second. I didn't get to join last year because I was pregnant with Aira. We were also joined by my brother in-law, Feroz and Geng DP, Kak Eja, Wawa and Didi. Yang kelakarnya, Geng DP memula detour ke Taman Tasik Titiwangsa, thinking the event was held there. Nasib baik wa tepon!

Aanyways, alhamdulillah Geng DP made it on time, and sempat tengok pelbagai ragam orang yang participate. Young, old, bare foot, on bicycles, roller blades, with families, colleagues. Memang ramai orang. I saw JJ from Hitz.fm...ngeeee! Rafiq joined the Sarong Party Gang...as he did last year. this year the run was divided into 3.5km and 5km. It started at about 9 a.m.

Start jalan. Ramai kan participants?

All of us walked diikuti dengan aksi cam-whoring yang terlampau. We walked most of the journeys..except when our cameramen (Feroz & Did) were focusing on us..hahaha! Initially we wanted to do the 5km run but ended up doing 3.5km (except for Rafiq who were wondering where the heck we were...hahahah!) Didi sempat ajar Feroz teknik mengambil gambar lagi!


Macam-macam gaya


Apa yang penting??! ADA GAYA!!!

We left Lake Garden at about 10.30 p.m. I think there were other activities. Yasmin Yusuf was the mc for the event and when we left there were dancers doing bhangra. I really had a great time!
