DAY 25 - NIPIGON TO TERRACE BAY

Dad left Thunder Bay yesterday morning in the sunshine.  He stopped at the Terry Fox monument.  I can only imagine how inspiring this monument would be to anyone crossing this country on their own power.  Someone kindly took a picture of dad at the monument.  THANK YOU TO his host in Nipigon who sent the photos.

A BIG THANK YOU to his Thunder Bay hosts.  They were up very early yesterday morning to see dad off and made him a big breakfast at 5 am.

After discussions with his hosts in Nipigon and Marathon, dad has decided not to cycle to Marathon today as the hills are big and the area is isolated.  Dad is going as far as Terrace Bay (104 km) and spending the night.  After Terrace Bay there is nothing until Marathon which is approximately another 100 km.  Destination for Wednesday is Marathon.

    Blessings Gary,
    What a picture to see you beaming with joy at the Terry Fox Monument!!!! It truly must have been a special moment for you to reflect on your journey.And look at that TOTAL!!! Over $20,000.00 now and climbing after reaching your half way point. We can only hope that it will be double by the time you reach home. Stay focused and may Terry now guide you over the ground that he was able to cover on his journey towards ending cancer.We continue to pray for you and your journey as you climb the hills today know that we are with you!!!
    Blessings, Ted and Kim Sherring
