At last The HugTrain launches its own mobile app on Android and iOS – well, iOS is waiting to be accepted but I see no reason why it won’t be! This is a great way that we can use technology to boost our well being and happiness and to connect with people – Its just amazing to me that The HugTrain can help people all year round now. If you know me, you know I’ve been a little involved with The HugTrain – (see Who needs a hug) since I met founder Arie Moyal and have tried to help out, as there are many things that need to be done before Arie even gets on the train, this year HugTrain was acquired, which has given Arie the extra help that he has needed at last.

The HugTrain launches its own mobile appTechieMinx. Arie Moyal kicks off his Hug Tour in Montreal. The Power of Giving on Social Media #lostbear #FindElaine #hugtrain5. Such is the power of giving on social media – that we don’t have to do a lot to help out, just a retweet or a share, or just to let know someone we care, we can actually do something to make a difference! We all know by now the story of the #lostbear on social media.

I will recap if you’ve been living in a cave with no wifi since Friday. Friday the 13th wasn’t as unlucky for a young girl called Phoebe as she first thought, after losing her bear at a train station after a trip to London, she had spent the weekend very upset. However Lauren Bishop Vranch had found the bear (actually a lion) and posted the picture of the Lion on Twitter asking for help to find the owner. Then followed more pictures of the adventures of #lostbear whilst being looked after by Lauren. The Power of Giving on Social Media #FindElaine A much more important and urgent thing happened 4 days earlier on the 9th of December – Andrew Harrison’s mum went missing in Nottingham.

Add to this the pressure and, for many, unfulfilled expectations created around the holidays - be they related to family or money or both. At least 20% of adults in North America will be faced with a major mental health challenge in their lives.

HugTrainUSA costs for 2012-13

Hugs for the holidays! The holidays can be a very lonely and difficult time for people. This is the 4th year HugTrainUSA is doing something about it! Travelling from coast to coast on the train, we hug anyone who wants a hug and we raise awareness and funds for mental health. We hope that in this way we are a bridge to better lives for people who think life can't get better and that they don't matter. Our charity partners this year are the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation and To Write Love On Her Arms and they will recieve any extra funds we don't use for costs.

What We Need & What You Get Every year for the past 3 years, our founder Arié Moyal has covered the costs of these trips himself but a concussion has made it difficult for him to work this year and so he is turning to you for help in keeping this important mission going.
