Sedona AZ (November 7, 2014) – Mildred Lisette Norman Ryder spent 15 years preparing for a journey that would not only change her life, but the lives of thousands of people she would meet over a 28-year span of walking the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. On January 1st 1953, at age 44, she put on a pair of canvas sneakers, donned dark blue slacks, blouse, and a tunic – on which she had sown her new name: Peace Pilgrim. On this day in 1953 she walked ahead of the Tournament of Roses parade to begin a trek of traveling more than 25,000 on foot on a personal pilgrimage for peace that would last the rest of her life.
