500 miles shackled in chains to end modern slavery!

On the 1st of August 2009, I will begin a 500 mile run across the US and the UK in Chains!

My intention for this extreme run from London to this year's FREEDOM FESTIVAL in Kingston-Upon-Hull is to help rescue victims of trafficking, prevent future exploitation, and to stop the demand for Modern slavery.

This extreme marathon event is about awareness, consumer responsibility, and of course funding!

it is about triggering a tipping point whereby people all over the world become involved in the abolition of modern slavery.

wow that was really insightful. Living in the US we cause a lot of bad things but have blinders on. Videos like yours helps to see clearly the things that we need to. Thanks for making a difference!
