Julius Achon grew up in the small village Awake, 40 miles northeast of Lira in northern Uganda. Julius was raised in poverty during the civil war. At age 12, he was kidnapped by a militant coalition that rebelled against the Uganda government, and was forced to become a child soldier. Three months later, Julius managed to escape and ran 300km back home. After making it back home, he wanted to build a better life for himself, and one way he believed he could do that, was by training to become a runner. Fast forward and Julius achieved his dreams, competing in the 1996 and 2000 Olympics as Captain of the Ugandan team. He is the co-founder of ‘Love Mercy’, a charity that helps support Northern Uganda to overcome poverty after decades of civil war. His resilience and determination leave a significant impact on anyone fortunate enough to hear his story.
