Terry Fox Monument, Thunder Bay

The Terry Fox Monument in Thunder Bay Ontario. Where Tery looks out on to the sleeping giant

We all know about Terry Fox and his Marathon of hope but did you know about the Terry Fox Monument in Thunder Bay?

The Terry Fox Monument is a giant copper statue of Terry running his Marathon. The Monument is build close to the place where Terry needed to stop his Marathon on after 143 days of running and even with only one real leg he still ran a marathon distance a day!

So to honer this great runner they build this monument next to Highway 11/17 and gave Terry a beautiful view over the Sleeping Giant.

The Monument of Terry fox is build in a small but nice park where you can have a rest stop on your trip and bring a visit to see Terry. At the parking lot you also find a Tourist information office for Thunder Bay with lots of information on Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope.

And as all Canadians should know every year the Terry Fox Foundation has runs and walks to support the Cancer Research. In 2007 the run will be held on September 16 and my advice if you can go support this good cause and if you can’t run yourself then think about supporting one of us and that way we all help to get more funds for the Cancer Research.
