Polly Letofsky left her home in Colorado and headed west across 4 continents and over 14,000 miles—by foot—to become the first woman to walk around the world.
As an awareness campaign for breast cancer, strangers welcomed her into their homes. But it was never an easy road. Polly struggled with earthquakes, muggings, languages, even religious riots. The ultimate challenge came in the middle of Polly’s journey when September 11 flung us all into a crossroads in world history and she found herself navigating a vastly changing world.
Polly shares her story with humor and honest reflection, in this award-winning book, 3mph: The Adventures of One Woman’s Walk Around the World.
Polly has taken her book writing experience to a whole new level. After a bad experience with a publishing company, she took a deep dive into learning every aspect of the industry. Her goal… to protect authors from many of the same mistakes she made. Today she runs a very successful book publishing business with an award-winning team of editors, marketers, and designers.
