Today marks a meaningful moment for Thunder Bay and for Canadians across the country.
Around noon, the National Ride of Hope will be in our city. The ride is led by Darrell Fox, brother of Terry Fox, and it carries special significance for usāThunder Bay is the place where Terryās Marathon of Hope came to an end in 1980.
To honour the 45th anniversary of that journey, Darrell and a small team are cycling 7,000 kilometers from Vancouver to St. Johnās. Their goal is to raise $1 million for cancer research.
This ride is about more than distanceāitās about continuing the legacy of one of Canadaās most inspiring figures. Communities across the country are joining in to support the cause, and today, itās our turn.
If youāre out and about around noon, stop by the Terry Fox Monument to cheer on Darrell and the team. Itās a simple but powerful way to remember Terry and support the fight against cancer.
