Free Hugs: The Campaign
I found this video earlier today on Ann’s blog Ann Again…and again who in turn found it on Cheryl’s blog The Daily Blonde.
Over 40 million views and I had missed it completely!

Here is the story from the YouTube description:
Sometimes, a hug is all that we need. Free Hugs is the real life controversial story of Juan Mann, a man whose sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger put a smile on their face.
In this age of social-disconnection most all of us lack that simple human touch from another, the effects of the Free Hugs Campaign are now felt around the globe.
As this simple gesture of kindness and hope spread across the city, police and officials ordered the Free Hugs Campaign BANNED. What we then witnessed was the true spirit of humanity as people came together in what can only be described as something awe inspiring.
In the spirit of the Free Hugs Campaign please pass this video to a friend and HUG a stranger! After all, you CAN make a difference.
Ah, there is Sunny’s (and now Starr’s) motto again: Make a Difference.
We all can!
