Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
When worldwide walker and Coloradan Polly Letofsky decided to take a hike, she covered 14,000 or so miles, with the goal of spreading awareness about breast cancer. Sometimes the challenges and hardships of the journey might have taken her off course philosophically, but now that she's been back a while and has authored a book about the trek, 3MPH: A Woman's Walk Around the World, Letofsky is right back on track.
She's one of eighteen Colorado authors who will be signing books tonight at the Colorado Christmas Book Festival, an event to benefit Sense of Security, a nonprofit organization that provides financial support to people fighting cancer.

Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
