 In his 45th birthday, Quebec native Jean Béliveau sought out for a walk. He crossed over Montreal's Jacque Cartier Bridge in Montreal, where he originally dreamed up the notion of escaping his life as a neon sign salesman nine months before, and kept going for 75,554 kilometers through 64 countries. He burned through 54 pairs of shoes but somehow managed to keep up his relationship along with his wife, Luce, who stayed at home while Jean spent 11 years running around the world.
