On the 7th of April 2024, The Doon School proudly hosted the 12th annual Terry Fox Run, a heartfelt tribute to the indomitable spirit of Terry Fox, a Canadian teenager whose courageous journey continues to inspire millions around the globe.
 

Terry Fox's remarkable story began when he was diagnosed with cancer at the tender age of 18, leading to the amputation of his leg. Undeterred by this adversity, he embarked on an extraordinary cross-country run, spanning 5,373 kilometers over 142 days, using an artificial leg. His determination and resilience in the face of adversity have become a symbol of hope and perseverance for people worldwide.

In honor of Terry Fox's enduring legacy, students from across Dehradun enthusiastically participated in the run, showcasing their support by running, walking, or skating distances ranging from 2.5 to 4.5 kilometers

Affectionately known as the 'Marathon of Hope,' the event kicked off at The Doon School with a spirit of unity and determination. Naveen Godiyal, speaking to the students at the closing ceremony, eloquently expressed, "Terry Fox's enthusiasm was tremendous and is an inspiration to all of us."

Six students from Dehradun Hills Academy proudly represented our school in this meaningful event, embodying the spirit of compassion and solidarity.

The Terry Fox Run not only celebrates the legacy of a remarkable individual but also serves as a poignant reminder of the power of resilience, determination, and the importance of coming together to support a worthy cause.

As we reflect on the spirit of Terry Fox, let us carry forward his legacy of hope, courage, and compassion in all our endeavors, inspiring positive change and making a difference in the world around us.
