The Terry Fox Memorial

I first wrote about this remarkable young man last year, 4th. November when we were in Victoria. There is a small statue of him at mile zero of the Trans Canada Highway. That was where he planned to finish his epic Marathon For Hope.


This memorial is just off the Trans Canada Highway east of Thunder Bay,  close by the spot where he had to give up his run, due to the cancer returning.   He started the run in St. Johns Newfoundland,  143days and 5,373 kilometres later it ended here.  To date the organization he left behind has raised over $600 million world wide.
