On October 10th, Meilun International Education successfully held the fourth Terry Fox Run. Teachers and students from Meilun Canada BC and UK A-Level attended the event, and President Liang Ruijuan and BC Principal Kevin O'Brien mobilized and led the whole process. Before the official start, BC teachers and students also took the opportunity of the Mid-Autumn Festival Garden Party to hold a charity charity sale that also encouraged the fight against cancer.
Terry Fox Run, also known as the Hope Marathon, is a charity run initiated by Canadians in 1981 to commemorate cancer patient and anti-cancer fighter Terry Fox. As the first overseas high school in British Columbia Province in Guangdong Province, Meilun International Education insists on holding this hope marathon every year, starting from the core meaning of Terry Fox Run, reminding students to pay attention to physical health, strengthen physical exercise, exercise the tenacious will to never give up in the face of adversity, and at the same time aims to cultivate students' multicultural perspective and awareness of actively participating in public welfare activities.

Terry Fox is an ordinary young man in Canada. In 1977, he was diagnosed with cancer and had his right leg amputated. He optimistically and actively received various treatments and rehabilitation in the hospital, encouraging other patients in the hospital to face the disease bravely. When he learned that the Canadian government's funding for cancer research was still quite scarce, in 1980 Terry Fox launched the Terry Fox Charity Run (Hope Marathon) to call on each person to donate one dollar to cancer research and become the founder of the "Hope Marathon".
