Polly Letofsky        

First woman to walk around the world - to bring global awareness to breast cancer.

Polly Letofsky is the first woman to walk around the world as an awareness campaign for breast cancer. She traveled across 4 continents, 22 countries, and over 14,000 miles by foot to become the first woman to walk around the world.

Survivors and well-wishers around the world came to walk with her. Every day strangers welcomed her into their homes and shared meals. The world had embraced her.

Polly's GlobalWalk has been featured in over 2,000 newspapers, magazines, radio and television stations around the world, including Good Housekeeping, CNN International, The CBS Early Show, NBC's Your Total Health, and Fine Living Channels Radical Sabbatical. Newcastle Productions has recently released Polly's GlobalWalk, a documentary chronicling her journey.

A natural storyteller, since her return, Polly has been speaking to rapt audiences around the country. She richly details her journey with humor and honest reflection, the good times and the hardships. Sometimes serious, sometimes funny, always inspirational, Polly's inspiring keynote personifies the spirit of commitment and perseverance that will compel your audience to take on life's biggest challenges one step at a time.
