Terry Fox’s run across Canada to raise money for cancer research in 1980 was commemorated this morning here at Al Mamzar Park with the 2008 Dubai Terry Fox Run. Around 10,000 people walked, ran, biked or skated the 8.4 km and shorter distances.
I walked and ran up to the roundabout with the 2.3 km mark and went back. So did my taichi master Dr. Chen and his son Harry who was on bike. DTFR, by the way is chaired by Judy Rickatson, who is also a member Dr. Chen's taichi group.
There were lots of Pinoys who participated in the fund-raising event. It was a kabayan group that led the warm-up with aerobic exercise. And helping direct vehicle and human traffic throughout the event, in their neon green vests, were barangay tanods.
Jottings of Pinoys in Dubai with nothing else to do.
