The World Harmony Run is a global relay that seeks to promote international friendship and understanding. As a symbol of harmony, runners carry a flaming torch, passing it from hand to hand traveling through over 100 nations around the globe.
Joined by Fremantle Mayor Peter Tagliaferri and local school children, Daniel said how honoured he was as Fremantle’s representative to have been invited to run with the torch to help highlight the World Harmony Run’s theme – to work towards a more harmonious and peaceful world.
Now in its third decade, the World harmony Run is humanity’s largest and longest run. Since its inception it has visited more than 140 countries. Along the route the torch travels, people of all ages in thousands of communities – everyday folk to world leaders – will join the World Harmony runners by carrying the torch a few steps or a few kilometers. Previous World Harmony Runners include Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Pope John Paul II Robert de Castella and Cathy Freeman.
The Perth leg of the World Harmony Run will continue over the weekend with ceremonies and activities around the metropolitan area. To keep up with proceedings visit www.worldharmonyrun.org/au.
