May El-Khalil: Making peace is a marathon

I really enjoyed this Ted Talk because it combined two of my most favorite things in the world: fitness and activism.In Lebanon there is one gunshot a year that isn't part of a scene of routine violence: The opening sound of the Beirut International Marathon. In a moving talk, marathon founder May El-Khalil explains why she believed a 26.2-mile running event could bring together a country divided for decades by politics and religion, even if for one day a year.
