Editor's Notes
- Funds raised have been a combination of $ and £’s raised in London, Bermuda and the USA. Donations have been received from people from all walks of life, students, companies and people in power. EVERY single £ or $ raised has gone directly to anti slavery / anti trafficking coalitions. Link: William Wilberforce http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Wilberforce
- Run For Freedom 5 km runs held in London and Bermuda and a 5km walk in Florida. For two years we held a poster competition to use the winning entry worldwide when promoting Run For Freedom and raising awareness of people trafficking. Encouraging ‘For Freedom’ events, Climb For Freedom consisted of climbing a wall enough times to reach the equivalent height of Mount Everest. Upon meeting music producer Charles Bailey, he was inspired to create two songs – Run For Freedom with signer Kedisha Charles and a remix of Amazing Grace with Kedisha and songwriter KC aka SirCredit; 50% of proceeds go directly to anti trafficking campaign MTV EXITSigner /songwriter Sunjata wrote Red Light to raise awareness of people trafficking.
