Story

I was bullied when I was a kid.

I was bullied because of my skin colour.

I was bullied because of my accent.

I was bullied because of my weight.

Yes. I was bullied for being the brown fatty boy talking funny.

At 12 I tried to run to lose weight. At least one thing I could do. But I never could run properly. It was hard.

Many years later I solved all these problems.

It doesn't bother me what people say about my skin... yes, it still could happen.

It doesn't bother me if I am carrying an accent.... yes, that is coming with my 3 passports.

It doesn't bother me about my weight because it's not important.

But you know what I can't accept? The injustice.

I couldn't accept that I couldn't run. I couldn't and I didn't. I challenged myself to prove that I could do it.

And because I can't accept so many animals are being bullied and attacked daily just for being different, I decided to run for them.

Every day animals are being attacked just because they are not like us. They are here, on this planet, WITH us not FOR us.

In a few days I'll run in their name, supporting my friends at One Kind.

I would like you to help me to support them.

We all can change our future but also we can help to change the future of others.

With that you have 2 options: go to the corner and cry or go out and fight. Let's fight together for those who can't protect themselves.
