Free Hugs

All it takes is one hug, one love, and the world is a little brighter. Juan Mann displayed this in his hometown located in Australia. He knows the feeling of loneliness and wants to change that for other people. This is a great man. He had the courage to stand alone on the streets with his free hug sign, just so he could reach out and help others.

Eventually free hugs were banned because of public liabilty fear and red tape. A petition was started to bring back free hugs. After 10,000 signatures were collected free hugs made a come back. Now most people are familiar with the free hug campaign video, which shows Juan Mann with his free hug sign and trying to gain enough signatures. The song is "All The Same" by Sick Puppies. It is one of the best songs and videos out there.
