Running for freedom: Mission to save trafficked kids reaches Junee

Key points

  • Four young runners known as Motion Four Justice passed through Junee on Tuesday, more than 4,000 kilometres into a run from Cape York to Wilsons Promontory. The group aims to raise $1 million for the charity Destiny Rescue, which helps children escape trafficking and sexual exploitation.
  • The campaign was inspired by Griffin Hughes, who said a stranger in Colombia offered to sell him a four-year-old girl. By Tuesday, donations had passed $206,000.
  • The runners hope to finish on October 25 and set a world record for the endurance feat.
