Polly's GlobalWalk is the feature documentary of Polly Letofsky's 14,124 mile, 22 country, 5 year walk around the world that raised over $250,000 for Breast Cancer.
Polly Letofsky left Vail Colorado August 1, 1999, by foot, to become the first woman to walk around the world. She wanted her walk to benefit women, women's health, and be international in scope. Breast Cancer awareness became her mission. In the middle of her 5 year journey, on September 11 while in Muslim Malaysia, she suddenly found herself
discovering the world from a unique historical perspective. Determined as ever, she quickly adjusted her strut thru an Islamic Asia, India, and a simmering Europe. It became a journey personifying the spirit of commitment and perseverance.
Polly's GlobalWalk is a human interest story full of grit, courage and determination. It entertains, educates, enlightens and inspires, and the message is clear: You can accomplish anything if you take it one step at a time.
