Video Description
Sometimes, a hug is all what we need. Free hugs is a real life controversial story of Juan Mann, A man whos sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives.
In this age of social disconnectivity and lack of human contact, the effects of the Free Hugs campaign became phenomenal.
As this symbol of human hope spread accross the city, police and officials ordered the Free Hugs campaign BANNED. What we then witness is the true spirit of humanity come together in what can only be described as awe inspiring.
In the Spirit of the free hugs campaign, PASS THIS TO A FRIEND and HUG A STRANGER! After all, If you can reach just one person…
Music by Sick Puppies.
PS. The response to this video has been nothing short of overwhelming and touching. Hugs to every single one of you who messaged. There has been thousands of emails from all over the world by people seeking to participate in the Free Hugs campaign and asking for permission. You do not need permission. This is the peoples movement, this is *your* movement. With nothing but your bare hands you can make THE difference.
Imagine all the people.

Miss your frequent online musings, Jennifer. I’ve gotten so I check your blog even when I haven’t received a Feedblitz notice of new entry, just in case Feedblitz isn’t telling me! This is surely a hard, hard time for you and your family, this grief and beginnnings of adjustment, so I am not saying you must get right back to sharing with us…but I wanted you to know that we are all here and missing you.
Love,
Sandy in FL(speaking for many, I suspect)
