Since August of 1999, breast cancer campaigner Polly Letofsky has been walking the globe to promote awareness and raise money to fight the disease. She publishes a journal of her adventures at www.globalwalk.org. Her entries range from entertaining tales of life on the road to tips for low-budget travelers to moving accounts of the many cancer survivors she has met along the way. In each country she visits, local Lions Clubs are working with her to raise money. In early June, Letofsky entered Canada, her 23rd country?she?s already tackled New Zealand, Australia, India, the Middle East, and Europe. Her 18,000-mile trek around the globe winds up later this year when she returns to her home in Vail, Colorado.
