The Ras Al Khaimah Terry Fox organising committee has presented a cheque for Dh144,116 to Sheikh Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, supreme council member and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah.
Organisers said the money will go to the United Arab Emirates University in Al Ain for continuing Terry Fox-funded cancer research projects.
The sixth edition of the annual RAK Terry Fox Run saw the participation of more than 3,000 runners this year.
The non-competitive race that is held every year at the Al Qawasim Corniche in Ras Al Khaimah has seen growth in the number of participants, said organisers.
The presentation took place with Emmanuel Kamarianakis, consul general of Canada in Dubai and Professor Frank J Branicki, chair of the department of surgery, at the College of Medicine & Health Sciences at UAE University, in attendance.

Know your cyber adversaries
Cryptojacking: Compromises a device or network to mine cryptocurrencies without an organisation's knowledge.
Distributed denial-of-service: Floods systems, servers or networks with information, effectively blocking them.
Man-in-the-middle attack: Intercepts two-way communication to obtain information, spy on participants or alter the outcome.
Malware: Installs itself in a network when a user clicks on a compromised link or email attachment.
Phishing: Aims to secure personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers.
Ransomware: Encrypts user data, denying access and demands a payment to decrypt it.
Spyware: Collects information without the user's knowledge, which is then passed on to bad actors.
Trojans: Create a backdoor into systems, which becomes a point of entry for an attack.
Viruses: Infect applications in a system and replicate themselves as they go, just like their biological counterparts.
Worms: Send copies of themselves to other users or contacts. They don't attack the system, but they overload it.
Zero-day exploit: Exploits a vulnerability in software before a fix is found.

Know your camel milk:
Flavour: Similar to goat’s milk, although less pungent. Vaguely sweet with a subtle, salty aftertaste.
Texture: Smooth and creamy, with a slightly thinner consistency than cow’s milk.
Use it: In your morning coffee, to add flavour to homemade ice cream and milk-heavy desserts, smoothies, spiced camel-milk hot chocolate.
Goes well with: chocolate and caramel, saffron, cardamom and cloves. Also works well with honey and dates.
