<p>People travel from London to New York every day - nothing unusual about that, but if your journey took you 14 months, you might rightly wish to seek compensation from the airline! However, Mark Cundy&rsquo;s journey was different; his was a walking odyssey of immense proportions, covering 5,500 miles between October 2004 and December 2005 across three continents, in aid of Cancer Research UK and its overseas equivalents.</p><p>Facing a lonely, often gruelling trek, Mark encountered many setbacks and obstacles en route: limited resources, accommodation problems, language barriers, extremes of climate, red tape, cultural differences and health issues, and met plenty of &lsquo;angels&rsquo; and a few &lsquo;devils&rsquo; as his journey pressed on through Europe, across Russia and on to Australia and finally the USA. There were many times he stopped to wonder, &ldquo;What am I doing?&rdquo; But in true Forrest Gump style, he just kept on walking.</p><p>This is an extraordinary story, told with immense humour, of true grit and determination against the odds to fulfil a dream that had been many years in the making, one that took the &lsquo;World Walker&rsquo; through every gamut of emotion, from fear to triumph and desperation to sheer joy. It was a defining achievement. And to what does the &lsquo;pram&rsquo; in the title refer? He didn&rsquo;t really take a baby with him, did he? Well, you&rsquo;ll just have to read it and see!</p>
