Our friend and guest Licia Caprara came all the way from her home town, Lanciano, to participate in the run. She met us last year and enthusiastically asked to participate.
She run with us the whole day (including the unforgiving Conero uphills...) and enjoyed her time with the Peace Torch.

A big "Thank you" to Leonardo Boldrini for his help and enthusiasm for everything about peace.
Kids from the "Maria Montessori" primary school learning about the torch. In the question and answer session that followed, the young children proved to be quite confident with the theme of peace. Their enthusiastic partecipation was the best reward for our work.
