Finish It for Fox
In 1980, Terry Fox started a marathon against cancer. Today, a new campaign wants to end it.
The Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network is uniting the country to unlock the next frontier in cancer research: precision oncology. For the first time, researchers and clinicians will have the tools – including AI and genomic technologies – to study vast stores of data and unlock the secrets of the 200+ diseases we call “cancer.”
Inspired by Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope, the Network represents a powerful collaborative platform that aims to close the gap between research in the lab and patient care in the clinic.
Just as Terry Fox united Canadians with his run and dream to end cancer, the Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network aims to unite cancer researchers to pursue that same goal. The Network harnesses the talent, passion and energy of Canada’s best researchers and clinicians to innovate and implement the world’s most advanced and effective precision medicine.
The initiative is led by the Terry Fox Research Institute and the Terry Fox Foundation, in collaboration with dozens of fundraising and research partners across the country, including the Federal Government of Canada. The goal is to link the country’s top cancer hospitals and research centres to accelerate precision medicine for cancer and position Canada as a global leader in the field.
Precision medicine for cancer means ensuring that patients receive the right treatment at the right time for their unique cancer, no matter where they live. The Network unites patients, clinicians, researchers, administrators and donors from institutions across the country. In an unprecedented collaboration, it includes more than 40 member institutions and 800 individuals who are working together under a single vision – better outcomes and quality of life for cancer patients everywhere in Canada.
