FAREWELL JU JU – TURKISH FIRE FIGHTER – ADOPTED AUSSIE

Our wonderful new friend Ju Ju finally said his goodbyes to the Great Anzac Run today in Athens after a missed flight, an extended ticket date and an extra run with us across Crete. Starting at Gallipoli, the wide-eyed Turkish fire fighter didn't take long to endear himself to the Anzac crew. Throwing himself eagerly into the running as well as the celebrations, Ju Ju quickly learnt the nuances of becoming a real Aussie. "No problem", "Cheers mate" and a few other choice phrases taught to him along the way, Ju Ju's infectious friendship spread far and wide.
His parting speech had the group spellbound as he told about how his forefathers ran at the enemy to attack, but now I have run together with my friends across countries to show that our nations have a special bond.
Good luck Ju Ju, we will miss you.
