Marta Gudmundsdottir is now walking across the Greenland glacier, along the 66°North latitude line, raising money for the Iceland Cancer Society. A few months ago Marta herself finished therapy for breast cancer. Her mission is to raise money for cancer research and raise awareness of the importance of regular cancer screening.The money will be raised by selling postcards on www.krabb.is which Marta will post in Tassilaq after the walk.
