IT'S A JOURNEY WITH UNIQUE CHALLENGES.
This
two-continent trek takes them from the canals, rivers and forests
of Europe to the bleak high deserts and parched, rugged countryside
of the Middle East. Temperatures soar from near-freezing to nearly
100 degrees. Wild dogs roam the steppes, Israel and Lebanon
exchange bombs, while the potential threat from terrorism and
deadly viruses make them question their mission.
IT'S A TALE ABOUT OVERCOMING PHYSICAL & MENTAL OBSTACLES.
On this
five-month marathon, trekking 30-58 kms. every day is a supreme
test of the human spirit; of continuing even on those days when
their bodies say "No more!"
IT'S A QUEST FOR PERSONAL AND GLOBAL PEACE.
The
peace walkers spread a message of hope and tolerance as they talk
to local media and convince others that peace and negotiations are
better options to never-ending wars.
IT'S A DAILY ENCOUNTER WITH SMALL MIRACLES.
All
along the way "angels" help them in their times of need and
reassure them that human kindness is still very much alive in the
world today.
Join them on an historic walk to
remember. This book comes complete with helpful stages, maps and
black & white photos.
