Striving for Peace

The spirit of the Ancient Olympics was peace. Every country participating in the Olympics signs a truce abstaining from violence during the season of the games. Needless to say little is done to follow this through.

To highlight this issue, Michael Bates is walking from Mount Olympus to London with the hope of changing our commitment to the pursuit of peace. 

"I couldn't move the Government an inch on this issue, so I decided to move myself 3500 miles." Michael Bates.
