This is the face of a man who's spent the past eight years walking around the entire perimeter of the United States for a special cause close to his heart. A diabetic, Andy Mandell, has spent all that time promoting diabetes awareness. Here, he makes his way down San Marco Road on Marco Island after the Everglades leg from Miami. The largest of the Ten Thousand Islands marked the marathon walker's right turn into the final leg of the journey to Mandell's hometown of Madeira Beach, where he is also Executive Director of the Defeat Diabetes Foundation.
