Terry Fox Memorial and Lookout, Memorial park at Thunder Bay, Canada.
The memorial features a 9-foot bronze statue standing on a 45-ton granite base with local amethyst, overlooking Thunder Bay and the Sleeping Giant formation.
The monument marks the location where Terry Fox ended his 5,373-kilometer Marathon of Hope in 1980 after running across Canada for cancer research funds.
Each year, millions of Canadians participate in Terry Fox runs throughout the country to continue raising funds and awareness for cancer research.
The memorial includes an information center with educational materials, washroom facilities, and parking areas accessible from Highway 11/17 near Thunder Bay.
The statue faces westward, symbolically pointing toward the remaining distance Terry Fox intended to cover before his cancer forced him to stop running.
