This is the 23rd time the program has been successfully implemented and has donated VND 2.85 billion to raise funds to research blood cancer treatments for children in Vietnam, in order to help them have the opportunity to overcome the disease.

Terry Fox fundraising T-shirts have been purchased by NGK spark plug company employees since the launch of the new movement - T9/2019.

Not only participating in fundraising, NGK Vietnam spark plugs also encourage people to exercise and build a healthy lifestyle. Responding to the movement, the company registered to buy T-shirts very early, mobilizing employees to register to join relatives and friends.

The NGK Vietnam squad is about to start.

NGK Spark Plug staff are excited to support and show up on time. Although the weather was quite hot, everyone tried to complete the journey from the starting point to the end line.

The board of directors, NGK spark plug staff and their families participated in Terry Fox Run 2019.

A family of company employees left happily after completing the run.

In addition to the propaganda on traffic safety, volunteering is also something that the board of directors of NGK Vietnam Spark Plug Company is interested in during the development process. In the coming time, the Company will continue to participate in more similar events to benefit the community.

"Terry Fox For Run is a charity run named after Terry Fox – a bone cancer patient who persistently runs 42 kilometres a day from Canada East to West to raise funds for cancer research. Terry Fox completed 5,373 km (equivalent to the distance from Vietnam to Japan), but he had to stop the journey on the 144th day when cancer spread to his lungs and died at the age of 22, in 1981.

At the start, Terry called the track Marathon for Hope. Terry Fox is no longer a traditional Canadian event – it's in 60 countries and thousands of locations across Canada and the United States. More than $750 million from operations worldwide has helped sustain Terry's dream of finding a cure for cancer.

In Vietnam, Terry Fox Run has become the largest charity race to date, as well as the largest run in both size and number of participants (outside Canada) among the 60 countries where Terry Fox Run has been present."
