Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru Joins the Fight Against Cancer at the Terry Fox Run
Uniting the community through fitness and hope
September 19, 2024,
Bengaluru, India
The countdown has begun for the Annual Terry Fox Run in Bengaluru, and this year, the team at Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru is proud to play a key role in this inspiring global event. On September 21, 2024, runners, walkers, and supporters will come together to take meaningful strides toward a future without cancer, fuelled by Terry Fox’s enduring legacy of courage and hope.
The Terry Fox Run traces its roots to 1980, when 22-year-old Terry Fox, having lost a leg to bone cancer, embarked on a remarkable journey - running 5,374 kilometres (3,339 miles) across Canada to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. Though his journey was cut short by the return of cancer, Terry raised CAD 24 million and left behind a legacy that continues to inspire the world.
Deeply moved by Terry’s courage, Four Seasons Founder Isadore Sharp made a personal commitment to uphold Terry’s mission. Partnering with key sponsors, Sharp helped launch the first-ever Terry Fox Run in 1981, attracting more than 300,000 participants. Today, more than 12,000 Terry Fox Memorial Runs are held globally, with Four Seasons properties worldwide proudly supporting the cause.
In line with this tradition, Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru will bring its signature warmth and hospitality to this year’s Terry Fox Run. Demonstrating its commitment to the cause, employees of Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru will participate in the run, proudly wearing Terry Fox t-shirts purchased in a show of solidarity, with proceeds from this purchase going toward cancer research. The Hotel has also extended invitations to its guests and private residents, encouraging them to join this collective effort to raise funds and awareness for cancer research.
“Giving back to the community is a core value at Four Seasons, and the Hotel is honoured to contribute to such a powerful initiative,” says Ranjith Premraj, Director of People and Culture at Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru. “The Terry Fox Run not only supports vital cancer research but also promotes health, wellness, and unity in the community. The Hotel is excited to rally its team, guests, and residents behind this shared mission.”
This year’s Terry Fox Run promises to be an uplifting morning of fitness, philanthropy, and community spirit as participants commemorate the 44th anniversary of Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope. Together, they will honour Terry’s legacy and take a meaningful step toward a cancer-free world.
