What was once running from home because of a civil war, leaving all that you know and own, to changing the narrative of that race. Now running with athletes from around the world, running towards a greater purpose. Fueled by HOPE and no longer destitution. #DoItLuquLuqu @refugees @unhcrpartnershipsafrica @luquluqutribe . Fleeing home at the age of 8, walking for thousands of kilometers to seek refuge. Growing up in a refugee camp and by the age of 25, qualifying to race at The Olympics… despite and against all odds.

Live a life that matters. Live a life of love.” That’s what to #DoItLuQuLuQu is about?? @luquluqutribe @unhcrpartnershipsafrica @refugees
