Courage Highway - A Song Tribute to Terry Fox

From http://clarencemichon.wordpress.com/

I often travel to Thunder Bay via Nipigon Ontario. For those familiar with the area, that stretch of highway is aptly named "Courage Highway" in commemoration of Terry Fox to remind us all of his heroic bid to run across Canada in an effort to raise awareness, and funds, to fight cancer. Sadly, his run ended just outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada. There, at the end of the 100 mile stretch that is, Courage Highway, you will find a statue in his honor at a scenic lookout that bears his name and looks out to the world famous Sleeping Giant beyond the harbour of Thunder Bay.

As a songwriter, the name Courage Highway appealed to me a while back. With that, an idea for a song was born. A simple concept, yet inspiring. Essentially it speaks to the struggles we all face along the way to realizing our dreams. After just completing the song recently - and given it was in part inspired by Terry Fox - I thought that I saw fit to see how the song would work with the images of Terry Fox as he ran his "Marathon of Hope". Hope you like this tribute. Thanks for the visit!

To learn more about the realization of the song, I have written more extensively at my blog here!

More importantly, I encourage you to learn more about the Terry Fox Foundation and the wonderful work that they do in the honor of Terry's courageous run. Link is here. http://terryfox.org/

Remembering Terry! A Port Coquitlam youth named Terry Fox, With a smiling face and dark blond locks. And more pain than he could cope, He ran the Marathon of Hope! With only a few people as his team, He set out to fulfill his Dream! With only one good leg and the balance of a dancer, Crossing our country, to raise Money for the Research of Cancer! So let us remember, each year in September, To continue, as a great team, Worldwide – to fulfill – Terry’s Dream! By Brie Oishi
