365 days. A marathon a day. Barefoot. South to North of Africa. Global fundraiser.
Every nation. The Human Race. For Love and for this World.
The world is a pretty scary place at the moment as hate and death continue to flood our news, eyes, and ears every second of every day. We are raising awareness for LOVE by fundraising for authentic and empowering charities. We are emphasizing the fact that we are all HUMANS and underneath our skin, we are all the same.
Join Nick Lawson as he runs solo from the Southernmost tip to the northernmost tip of Africa, journeying up the East coast and through 23 countries. He will make the journey the whole way alone, but he will never be alone because the whole world will be joining him in some way. Humans from every country on this planet will join him.

We CAN do this.

Let's love each other more.

I'm not entirely sure he's even made it to 26 miles on this whole journey. I'd say he's somewhere between 3/4 and 2.5 marathons combined in the last 15 months. I'm no math genius but I'm guessing that's a bit short of the "marathon a day" goal.

Got a little carried away today when I saw Nick has a new gofundme. This guy is a slick one.

https://www.gofundme.com/thegac

Reported to gofundme: "So last year on an internet forum some guy posted how his buddy was going to "run" a marathon a day across Africa, barefoot, and spread love. It sounded stupid but whatever people do weird stuff for no reason. His initial goal was somewhere around $500k. It kept changing throughout the year with the goal price changing, the descriptions changing, and the overall journey changing rules. People who donated in the beginning didn't donate for what it was by the end. This organizer of this campaign has the Instagram name: "runforlove2018". He has not run a single marathon but rather jogged a few times, and mostly car pooled across the eastern coast of Africa having a vacation with various locals and endulging in illegal drugs. At the very least he ought to be taxed as income purposes because what he is doing does not qualify as a charitable organization. He used people's goodwill to fund his spiritual journey vacation. It is wrong and now he's going on another campaign (which I have reported here). I think it's wrong and the people donating now have no idea what he did in the past. Please find a way to right this wrong.

His original domain name: runforlove2018.com is no longer valid

His last go fund me that is still active is here: https://www.gofundme.com/runforlove2018 "

Money Raised will go towards:
-Paying the Run For Love 2018 team the whole time I am away as there will be constant alterations and communication needed. They are humans that need money to live as we all do. Just because they are doing a good thing does not mean that they do not deserved to be paid = $100,000 USD
-Paying for a doctor and a project manager to join me for the whole trip, and paying drivers in each new country= $100,000 USD
-Paying for my media Team who will be with me the whole team and will be constantly liasing with local,international and social media contacts. Their job is very very important and they will also have many fees to pay ie visas, wages, equipment etc = $200,000 USD
-On the ground expenses = $30,000 USD (if this is not used then money will be dispersed between the different charities)
-Supplies, food, water etc =$30,000 USD
-Visas, flights = $8000 USD
-Miscellaneous problems fund = $32,000 USD (if this is not used the money will be dispersed between the different charities)

the guy used money he raised and spent it on tattoos, drugs, luxury resorts, fancy meals, flight tickets for family members, unnecessary flights and visas, he bought a camel in the Sudan, he hired locals to take him out in the Sahara desert for two weeks, and he did a ton of other foul and dishonest shit. Basically, the money spent went to go fund on big fancy vacation that has spanned over a year. He lied about donating money to local charities, amongst tons of other bad stuff the guy did. He is pure scum and a Shylock.

start by doing this: it takes like 1 min.

1. Visit the campaign here: https://www.gofundme.com/runforlove2018
2. Scroll to the bottom and click the ‘Report Campaign’ button, as seen here: https://i.imgur.com/eSs4uW1.png

Don’t forget that story where the dude turned water into wine, or walked on water and had a bunch of people following him around in Birkenstock’s. Sounds like lying and manipulation to me.

Thank you. I submitted a detailed complaint. What Nick is doing is the very definition of entitlement. He's stealing his donors' money to fund a personal vacation in a place where the native people could very much use the money to meet even the basic needs of life, including proper nutrition, clothing, and housing. Instead Nick travels like the entitled Westerner he is, uses illegal drugs (which can have serious repercussions in Africa) and continues lying to himself and everyone else about what he is doing.

Yup. Pretty much shows how big a douche he is.

Since my comment will probably get deleted.

"You're so delusional man. You're not Jesus, you didn't save the world. You couldn't even run 1 marathon like you said you would. This trip was always all about you. You got what you wanted. There were plenty of people willing to support you thinking you were doing something good. Hope you enjoyed your vacation? Can't really hate on people for not wanting to donate 500k or celebrities not joining your BS campaign. Did your ego finally get fueled enough to go home?"

Dudes a piece of shit.

Not surprised. Obviously we made the right call, but hist last posts confirmed how big of a douche he actually is.

The common thing is, me me me, I I I, me me me. Its always all about him. His greatness, haters don't understand, hes like jesus, hes conquering, he learned to live himself.

Then mixed a few generic surface deep hallmark passages about love and saving the world.

He didn't run for shit because it was hard, he realized it would be tougher than he thought to run even 1 marathon so he faked an ankle injury and quit. Instead of admitting his idea might not work and modifying it he abandonned it.

He wanted celebrities involved so they would be like "Hi I'm Morgan Freeman and Nick Lawson is so cool, also go africa love". He cared more about elevating himself than that continent.

Dude is a giant delusional self absorbed piece of shit. Unfortunately if you silence any dissent, you can make it seem like everyone is onboard for the ride to further "legitimize"".

It's fucked uo to use people living in Africa and their will for a better safer life on your bullshit self promotion vacation.

I hate bullshitters and scammers. Dude is both and a general worthless human. Fuck that guy.
