Ryan Keeping was escorted by police into the city and has been following in Fox’s footsteps in a journey across Canada to raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

It’s a cause near to Keeping as many in his family have been impacted by heart issues.

He began his journey from the Fox memorial in St. John’s, Newfoundland on April 1 and has raised nearly $95,000 so far.

Keeping often runs with a Canadian flag draped over his back while proudly displaying his Terry Fox t-shirt.

The stop in Thunder Bay is an emotional one as it’s where Fox was forced to end his journey in 1980.
