Barking across Canada
#3
Frank and Sheila have joined a great Canadian Legacy.
Walking across Canada is a Canadian thing.

Years ago a young man called Terry Fox lost his leg to cancer. He set out to run across Canada. He made it halfway before the cancer returned and he died. If he had finished the journey then it would be over. Because he had to stop, Canadians have been completing his journey ever since. Certainly the runs done in Terry's name are cancer fund raisers. But people do the journey for a whole lot of other reasons.

I have been to the spot where Terry ended his run.

I think Frank and Sheila are having a great adventure together.
