"Ed Stafford, 34, from Leicestershire, central England, has been walking the length Amazon River since April 2, 2008, to raise awareness of the region. He began his trek at the source of the river in Peru, encountering pit vipers, electric eels, anaconda, mosquitoes and scorpions. He was joined in July 2008 by Gadiel "Cho" Sanchez Rivera. The pair are due to reach the shores of the Atlantic on August 9. During his trek Ed has blogged using a laptop and a satellite internet link. You can follow his journey on the Walking the Amazon website. Here, he describes a typical day."

That shows true dedication. I mean to trek along the amazon for 2 years, that is just unbelievable. This man has gone with little food yet natural food and Has continued walking on is an outstanding achievement. I believe he is the perfect example for courage, and should be honored.
