A few weeks back, when my post about Free Hugs in Leeds went viral, I heard from a ton of people that they love the idea.
But I know from experience that with posts like that, most people read them, nod their head, love the idea, share it with their friends, and then put the idea of giving out free hugs firmly in the “would love to do someday” pile in their brain, and never do anything about it.
So when simply stephen contacted me about putting on a 90 day free hugs challenge to get more people to take action, my immediate answer was – “Hell yeah!”
And now, after a few weeks of preparation, the challenge is ready!
The challenge is for you, if:
- you love the idea of free hugs
- you’re scared like a puppy when you think about giving them out yourself
- you love meeting other people who enjoy sharing positive emotions
Sounds good? Okay! Check out the 90 Day Free Hugs Challenge for yourself!

@Benny:
Heh, nice. I knew you were the kind of guy to do this stuff (and take it to the next level with the 7-language sign).
I guess I have some catching up to do if I want to enter competitive free hugging.
Tender thanks you looking for details. It helped me in my mission
