"An Innu man from Sheshatshiu, N.L., began a 300-kilometre solo hike across barren wilderness Wednesday morning to raise awareness about diabetes in aboriginal communities. Michel Andrew, 27, set off on foot from his home in the Innu community, towing a sled packed with traditional gear, intending to walk across hundreds of kilometres of Labrador wilderness along a snowmobile trail. His gear includes a tent, snowshoes, bucksaw and a caribou blanket to sleep on, but Andrew is taking no canned or processed food." - CBCWednesday, February 11, 2009
