This 100-mile run challenge for Operation Underground Railroad wasn't quite the same as Fit2Fat2Fit which was more of a long-term physical, traumatic experience but it was also emotional and mental which was my biggest takeaway from it. I've also done other smaller experiments here and there but this 100-mile run was 24 hours of suffering for the greater good. Sometimes that's what it takes to raise the human consciousness and realize that it's time to change. And that one thing is something crazy that catches their attention and creates greater awareness but also motivates them to take action. - Drew Manning

Listen and discover how you can make Operation Underground Railroad's mission known throughout the USA and beyond through the power of influence, attention, and action.
Operation Underground Railroad
SINCE BEING FOUNDED
IN DECEMBER 2013, Operation Underground
Railroad gathered the world's experts in extraction operations
and in anti-child trafficking efforts to bring an end to child
slavery. O.U.R.'s Underground Jump Team consists of former CIA,
Navy SEALs, and Special Ops operatives that lead coordinated
identification and extraction efforts. These operations are always
in conjunction with law enforcement throughout the world.
Once victims are rescued, a comprehensive process involving justice for the perpetrators and recovery and rehabilitation for the survivors begins.
It is time for private citizens and organizations to rise up and help. It is our duty as free and blessed people.
Domestic Services
O.U.R. salutes our
nation's law enforcement officers and prosecutors at the federal,
state and local levels who protect our country's children. Law
enforcement professionals skillfully investigate, arrest and
prosecute those who violate children. Our nation's police efforts
to protect children in the U.S. are light years ahead of many, if
not all other countries. O.U.R. acknowledges the expertise and
extraordinary work done by these dedicated men and women who
bravely battle the scourge of child sexual exploitation.
We share the mission to save children and seek justice for those who victimize them, therefore O.U.R. is committed to enhancing law enforcement efforts by providing resources where budget shortfalls prohibit child pornography, child exploitation or human trafficking operation from going forward. O.U.R. will also provide or facilitate child exploitation investigative training in U.S. jurisdictions where a need exists. Collaborating with law enforcement will reduce duplication, promote best practices and avoid other potential issues which might arise without close coordination.
O.U.R. is privileged and honored to support our nation's heroes in this important cause to deter, disrupt and dismantle child exploitation and the trafficking of children in our nation's communities.

Power Quotes From The Show
Self-fulfillment From Within
"I want to bring empathy and a better understanding of the importance of mental, emotional, and spiritual transformation in the fitness industry which is obsessed with physical transformations. Being in great shape doesn't guarantee happiness. Yes, workout programs work for physical transformation but are they bring you self-fulfillment? I'd say, no.” - Drew Manning
Motivation Through Self-Love
"When I do an event like running 100 miles, it's coming from a place of self-love instead of self-hate. Coming from a place of self-love instead of self-hate, it's a different type of motivation that helps me complete these challenges. Instead of hating or punishing myself, self-love allows you to create a better relationship with your body." - Drew Manning
What It Actually Means To Be Successful
"Yes, a person's body will change when they begin a new health program and they become less obsessed with that number going down the scale but they also become super happy with who they are, they feel better, and their perception on health, fitness, and success begins to shift. Success isn't based on that number on the scale going down; it's so much more than that. Success is about who you're becoming while you're taking that journey up the mountain." - Drew Manning
