Marathons of Hope...Hope Continues

Day six started early with a view we couldn't see when we arrived: Milton Lake. 

The mosquitos were not as bad as you'd think!  We packed up early and hit the highway for Thunder Bay. 


Like millions of others, Brenda is inspired by Terry Fox, and marathon four included a stop at the Terry Fox monument and a retrace of his steps on the Highway of Hope. 





Brenda and Maddy ran to the monument together where Emily was tagged to go the next leg with Brenda. The highway wasn't well suited for Norman to run support crew. Maddy and I waited in the centre median for our runners to arrive. 

Brenda ran the final leg herself while we three waited on the side of Hwy 17 East. 



In late afternoon heat, Brenda completed her fourth marathon!

Following the run were a few hours of driving. Lake Superior a constant. 


Seems only fitting that we passed through this little lakeside town a few hours later!

Day six ended when we landed in Wawa well after midnight.
