Early this month, 20 team members from THE One Qatar theatre hit the road as they participated in the Qatar Terry Fox Run for Cancer.  Joining a number of companies and single participants at the event, THE One Qatar team donated QR1,000 to the Terry Fox Cancer Charity.
 
In their signature red “Certified Funkologists” t-shirts,  THE One Qatar team ran alongside cyclists, walkers and roller skaters and enjoyed a full day of fun activities for all participants which included an abundance of food and face painting... With the event’s main goal in mind: “A Run for a Cause, to find a Cure for Cancer”, the Qatar team completed the 5 kilometre track inside the Qatar Foundation Academy and were awarded certificates that guaranteed THE One’s involvement in the event for years to come.
 
The event was a fun day for all, and a great success for the Terry Fox Cancer Charity.  THE One staff support a number of charitable initiatives, and believe that everyone plays a key role in making the world a better place.
 
“I’m not doing my run to become rich or famous. To me, being famous is not the idea behind running. The only important part is finding a cure for cancer. Don’t forget that. I’m no different from any of you – I’m no better, no worse. You are cheering and clapping for me but if you have given $1, then you are part of the Marathon of Hope. Even if I don’t finish, we need others to continue. It’s got to keep going without me.”
