The Founder

MARK 7

“I’m just a lad from a small town in Wales. I consider myself equal. In the grand scheme of things, I’m simply grateful to play a small part in God’s plan.”

— MARK 7

About The Founder

While Mark 7 is not affiliated with any specific religion or political party, his personal belief in a universal God is absolute, and that faith is the foundation of The Run of Hope Liberty Torch Relay: a movement for every nation, every race, and every belief system, united by one purpose — FREEDOM, LIBERTY, and LOVE.

Some call it coincidence.

Others call it fate.

Mark 7 calls it God’s plan.

These 7s are not coincidences.
They are signs.
Patterns.
Whispers from something greater.

Maybe you’ve seen patterns too — in your own life.
Moments that felt like more than chance.
Call it fate. Call it purpose. Call it God.

What if the things you thought were coincidences…
were never coincidences at all?

What if destiny has been speaking to you all along?

You are here for a reason.
Your story is not an accident.
Your life is a message.
And your calling… is waiting.

Are you ready to rise?

A SONG THAT SHAPED A BOY

A MOMENT THAT SHAPED A NATION

In 2001, three weeks after the tragic events of September 11, Mark 7 travelled to New York City.
Not for tourism. Not for business. But out of loyalty, brotherhood, and love for the American people.

America was grieving and hope was hard to find.
But Mark believed one thing then, the same thing he believes now:

If darkness, war and hate move in one direction, then light, love and peace must rise in the other.

“For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
— Sir Isaac Newton

That moment didn’t just move him. It marked him.
He made a promise that one day he would return to America —
not alone, but leading a movement of hope.
