KOTA KINABALU: About 10,000 people ran together to curb bullying through kindness at the Unicef Borneo Marathon here as part of the #StandTogether campaign.

“Bullying hurts – often in ways we cannot see. Words, stigma and exclusion, more than sticks and stones, break self-esteem leaving children feeling isolated and alone,” said Unicef representative to Malaysia Marianne Clark-Hattingh.
