Guys and girls,

I thought I would draw your attention to that exceptional person, Jean Béliveau and his achievement: Walking around the world for peace, a promis he makes to the children of the world.

To date he has walked over 35 000 km accross 3 continents. He is in the 6th year of his journey accross the world (He started from Canada in August 2000) and is now about half way.

He is about to enter France and soon will be in Ireland, Scotland and then in England, moving on to Belgium, Holland, Germany and so on...

Check out his website (run by his wife, Luce):

I just think it is a considerable achievement, so far far away from the common quests for greed or self-gratifications that I cannot help being drawn and often check where he is and hopefully meet him when he comes along our way, even if it just to provide him with a meal and a place to stay the night.

You never know you might want to do the same, or more when he comes your way!

Cheers,

David

Why have I never heard of this man? This is great!! I've walked two marathons which were tough enough (26.2 miles each in a little over 6 hours both times) but to walk around the world for 12 years?!?! He already walked by me in 2000 it looks like but I will keep track of that website since you've posted it, David

I hope he brought a spare pair of shoes with him

What an achievement....I struggle to walk up to the shops these days

Great site David, thanks for letting us know

Looks like it will be a few years till he makes it to Australia

I got carried away on his site of forgot i was still logged in on the forum

I loved looking at his pics, i'm sure i will visit this site often.

Good on him

hi!

Great infor david! I had not heard of this either!~


whats odd is that I am working on Jean Beliveau, but the Hockey

player... for a tv documentary... History of Hockey series..

I am not a hockey guy, but I sure have lots of photos of Jean ! and many

others.... if anyone loves hockey!

How funny I have never heard of this great man
He deserves great recognition for this act of total selflessness. Lets hope he inspires the nations to take note of what he is trying to promote.
Well done Jean Béliveau , we commend you.

.... if anyone loves hockey!

I love hockey! I'm a Philadelphia Flyers fan although I have visited Toronto's and Quebec's hockey stadiums
