This 10-year-old girl by the name of "Marwa" sells tissues in city of Aswan, Egypt. She rushed to watch a marathon organized for children from a distance and she quickly ran towards them to ask if she could participate. Although she neither paid the participation fee (which was 200 pounds) nor did she have the sports shoes or clothing to participate, she nevertheless wanted to take part and had the desire to win!
The organizers did not deprive this innocent child from playing. Marwa ran barefoot.. She ran as she was used to running after people in the streets to sell them tissues... She ran with the pride of the poor, she ran as if she was flying towards the sky to embrace the finishing line. To everyone's utter astonishment and surprise, she came in first place and won the gold medal.

Mason Greenwood statement 🔴⤵️
I want to start by saying I understand that people will judge me because of what they have seen and heard on social media, and I know people will think the worst.
I was brought up to know that violence or abuse in any relationship is wrong, I did not do the things I was accused of, and in February I was cleared of all charges.
However, I fully accept I made mistakes in my relationship, and I take my share of responsibility for the situations which led to the social media post.
I am learning to understand my responsibilities to set a good example as a professional footballer, and I’m focused on the big responsibility of being a father, as well as a good partner.
Today’s decision has been part of a collaborative process between Manchester United, my family and me. The best decision for us all, is for me to continue my football career away from Old Trafford, where my presence will not be a distraction for the club. I thank the club for their support since I joined aged seven. There will always be a part of me which is United.
I am enormously grateful to my family and all my loved ones for their support, and it is now for me to repay the trust those around me have shown. I intend to be a better footballer, but most importantly a good father, a better person, and to use my talents in a positive way on and off the pitch.
