The Terry Fox Foundation  was founded in 1988 after it separated from the Canadian Cancer Society.
Since its inception, The Terry Fox Foundation has raised over $750 million for cancer research.
Currently, Terry Fox Runs take place every year with many participants from all over the world.
The Run is a volunteer led, all-inclusive, non-competitive event with no corporate sponsorship, incentives or fundraising minimums.
Fox laid out these wishes before his death in 1981.

In 2007 The Terry Fox Foundation created the Terry Fox Research Institute to conduct translational research to significantly improve outcomes for cancer patients.
In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013, The Terry Fox Foundation directed $27.7 million to its cancer research programs.

The Terry Fox Foundation has expanded beyond the traditional Run as well, by holding various other events.
These events include National School Run Day, where schools throughout Canada hold a Run to commemorate Fox and raise funds, and The Great Canadian Hair "Do", which is a fundraising event that can take place at any time of the year.
Participants are able to make the event as creative as they want— shave their heads, dye their hair a wacky colour, include a manly leg wax, and recruit friends to shave their heads as well.
