World Harmony Run

Away from the internet, myself and Shane have been helping with the organisation of the World Harmony Run as it crossed through Ireland and England. The run was in Dublin on May 2nd (Shane’s residence) and Oxford yesterday (Tejvan’s residence). The World Harmony Run was founded in 1986 by Sri Chinmoy and seeks to offer a non political initiative to raise awareness of the message of harmony amongst different people and countries.
