The HUG4LOVE Story
My name is Jean-Philippe Marier, I’m from Quebec, Canada.
I grew up feeling the emotional pain of people I love and I always wanted to help… but I didn’t know how. So I started my healing adventure by walking around the world and offering hugs and compliments to strangers every day. Uplifting their day and hoping to inspire them to begin their own healing adventure.
How this project all begin?
The breakthrough moment was when I realize the negative impact of the pandemic and the social distancing measures on people's mental well-being, I started to think about ways to help.
Since lots of people were missing physical touch and that a hug has so many benefits including improving mental well-being, I thought: ''I will give hugs everyday, everywhere around the world to everyone who wants''. That's how HUG4LOVE is born.
Than I decided to mix my project with my biggest passion: self-development.
In order for me to reach my dream life of travelling the world and giving hugs to thousands of people, I had to transform. I had to change my mindset, acknowledge my healthy self-esteem and learn how to discipline every area of my life (Physical health, Mindset health, Relationship health, emotional health, Financial health)
In January 2025, After almost 3 years of giving hugs every single day, I had the idea to expand my mission of uplifting people in many more ways as oppose to just hugs. I changed the name from HUG4LOVE to ACT4LOVE so that it includes a broader variety of act of contribution making it accessible to more people. I kept on going every single day with this expanded new version.
Our common goal to uplift 100,000 people worldwide before the end of 2025 remains the same.
As of April 2025, it became clear that walking should be at the heart of this movement—because it's universal, relatable, and inspires action. At the time of writing these words, the founder had already walked over 7,961 kilometers to uplift others.
I started the Movement in February 2022 by giving the first hug in Montreal, Canada and I never stopped. Watch my adventures around the world on Youtube
