On August 1, @hardlynormal Tweeted “road trip miles so far 2,835 miles / 4,563km.” As the name suggests, Mark Horvath, going by @hardlynormal, is not your average Twitter writer, and this is not your average road trip. The formerly homeless man, turned social media activist, is in the middle of a cross-country tour this summer, coordinated by the Calgary Homeless Foundation (CHF), in partnership with the Community Action Committee (CAC). Horvath started in Victoria and is passing through Winnipeg August 8-9. He has one goal: to share the stories and experiences of the people he meets.
Mark is renowned in the social media world and was named by The Huffington Post as one of the 11 Twitter activists to follow. He has become an internationally recognized activist and ambassador for the millions of individuals and families who reside in shelters, motels, tents, back alleys and under bridges across the USA. Now he will uncover the story right here in Canada.
“Our goal is to expose Canadians to the un-natural disaster of homelessness in our communities through the personal stories of those experiencing it,” said Tim Richter, president and CEO of the Calgary Homeless Foundation. “I believe when Canadians are introduced to their homeless neighbours through Mark's lens, they will be compelled to act. We hope this action will be to join Calgary and a growing number of Canadian communities in a commitment to end homelessness."
