World traveler makes stop in Bowie
By DANI BLACKBURN
Bowie saw a unique visitor on Wednesday in the form of Rosie Swale Pope, who pulled her bright red, 9-foot-long cart, filled with her possessions, behind her on her way through town.
The 69 -year -old Irish woman is traveling from New York to San Francisco and inspiring individuals everywhere in between.
She runs to raise awareness for charities and to spread inspiring messages about doing good and making a difference in other’s lives.
“My slogan for this run is lending my feet to the people we meet,” said Pope. “I love the freedom of running and making a difference. I believe the smallest thing can make the biggest difference.”
