My motto:
"Peace is not a destination, but a road we travel on together."

- Why you should support me?
I run with a message that peace is possible, that we can reach out to each other through music, sports, arts and culture, and resolve our conflicts in win‐win ways. I run to seek a reduction of the $1.6 trillion wasted annually on war – so that it can instead be invested in ending poverty, protecting the environment and building peace. I run to highlight the positive work of the United Nations and so many non‐governmental organisations doing such good work to end violence and achieve peace. I run especially for Peace and Sport bringing youth together in conflict areas to bridge their differences and build peace.
