Here's an example of a Gold badge achievement!
Junior Frood was bullied for being a boy who loved to dance. Determined to follow his passion, he wanted to raise awareness of the awful effects bullying can have on people. Not only that, but he has inspired the victims of bullying to continue to follow their dreams by dancing on stage with famous stars like Justin Bieber, and raising hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity. He is a true inspiration and his Gold badge is well deserved!
Junior Frood earned his Gold badge for campaigning against bullying.
