7th Muscat Terry Fox Run on 23rd February 2007

The Terry Fox Run is a charity event that raises money for cancer research. It has been credited as being the largest single-day fundraising event for cancer research in the world. A record-breaking number of participants take part in this world famous run every year to raise money for cancer research. Altogether more than 8,000 participants from all walks of life rose over OMR 91,800 for cancer research in the Sultanate of Oman in the last six years. The Radisson SAS Muscat is now heading towards the seventh run and hope to exceed last year's total of OMR 14,800.

This year's 4.5km run will take place on Friday, 23rd February 2007 at 3pm with the start and finish being at the Radisson SAS Hotel and the course being set in the Al-Khuwair area. A fun program with a lot of activities will commence before the run takes place at 2pm. The proceeds of this years run will once again go towards funding Childhood Leukemia Research at the Sultan Qaboos University, which will be handed over by 2006 run organizer Jennie Snook and Christopher Pike, General Manager of the Radisson SAS Hotel, Muscat. The funds will support much needed research that is being conducted by the SQU Hospital into childhood leukemia in the Sultanate of Oman.

It is a day of celebrating his legacy and helping to keep his dream of a cure for cancer alive. The Radisson SAS Muscat aim to ensure that the up-coming run is an even greater success than the previous years once again a tremendous success where companies, institutions, independent groups, schools, the media and individuals will participate to help to increase awareness, and contribute to the local community by involvement in this charitable event and make Terry's dream come true.
