Polly Letofsky Recognition
July 20, 2004
Whereas, most people prefer to take a bus, train or ride a ferry, one woman has ,
embarked upon a walk around the world...one with a difference; and
Whereas, the walk is not to sightsee but to raise awareness and much needed
funds for breast cancer awareness and education; and
Whereas; Polly Letofsky, a 42-year-old American woman and long time local to
Vail, began her adventurous walking expedition around the world on August 1,
1999; and
Whereas, she is now only miles away from becoming the first American woman
to walk around the world; and
~ `~ ~ Whereas, after 14,300 miles in her self-described Global Walk for Breast Cancer.
;~~ Including treks through the United States, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore,
;~ ?`~•'• Malaysia, Thailand, India, Turkey, and in continental Europe from Greece to

....
Whereas, she has stopped only long enough to spread the word of the importance
A of early breast caner detection
~~ ''` Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Vail Town Council officially recognize Polly
,~` Letofsky for her tremendous accomplishment, as an inspiration to her friends,
coworkers, fellow residents, and women around the globe.
