And we have a little interview with Mary on BT. Where we learn Frederik and the the children all are very fond of football. Christian plays it in the footballclub HIK:
Se Kronprinsesse Mary spille fodbold: 'Det har været en ren fornøjelse' - Fodbold | www.bt.dk
It rained heavily, but it didn't affect the high mood as Crown Princess Mary visited the AaB club in connection with the Mary Foundation's launch of the Klubfidusen in Aalborg.
"Yes we became quite wet, but that did not matter. It was a real pleasure to play football. Admittedly, I haven't much experience with the game. But it was a delight to visit AaB. I have great respect for the club which has room for both amateurs and professionals. It's a living proof that unity gives good results," Mary said to BT.
Mary would in turn not reveals who is her favorite club.
"It's my little secret. But home in the family both my husband and my children are very fond of the game. Prince Christian is almost obsessed with football and he plays it in HIK," she said with a smile.
"Many Danish children begin to play football, but unfortunately every eight child stop again because of teasing. It does not work! All children have the right to thrive and they to feel welcome in a club."
The 'Klubfidusen' was launched in 2013 and is a collaboration between The Mary Foundation, The Save the Child, and Danish Football Union, and TrygFonden.
The purpose is to strengthen the well-being and to prevent bullying in Danish football clubs. Many Danish football clubs have chosen to integrate the project - now also Aalborg city.

"Thanks a lot for the way you are. It was a great experience for both children and parents to meet you Crown Princess today:"

You may remember the tv-programme "The Mary Foundation" sent some years ago. Here we saw Mary reading one of the many cards up she receives from the children from the Danish crisis shelters who all receive the Mary Foundation's backpacks when they arrive to the shelters. In the backpack there is among other things a postcard from Mary with room to write a greeting back to her if they want.
The Mary Foundation today on their Facebook page posted one of the letters Mary has recieved today:
This sweet postcard from a little girl immediately came up on the bulletin board in The Mary Foundation. She is one of the about 2,000 children each year who move into a crisis shelter with their mothers.
The Mary Foundation provides a backpack to all children in the crisis shelters. Often arrive the children without any belongings, so it brings great joy when they receive a backpack including a teddy bear, pajamas and a greeting from Crown Princess Mary.
The little girl writes to Mary: "Thank you, I can use it all and I'm happy for my teddy bear it is so sweet and so are you, so thank you."

The Mary Foundation's Facebook page informs that Mary and the Mary Foundation have had a meeting with South African 'Brothers for Life' and Danish 'Dialog mod vold' (Dialogue against violence) at Amalienborg today:

Mary has written a long summary of today's meeting at the Mary Foundation's website:
"Today I met with Helle Østergaard with representatives of the South African organization Brothers For Life and the Danish organization Dialogue against Violence. Mary Foundation special donation went in 2014 to the development of support services for violent men in the Brothers for Life, and these days employees of
Brothers For Life are taught methods from Dialogue against Vold's acclaimed work, and we at home will benefit from the South African experience."
You can read Mary's entire summary from today's meeting here:

It's a new modern way we see how Mary through the Mary Foundation is communicating. I think we will see more of this (well needed) open and modern communication in line with F&M takes over more and more.

Yes she beams, and Mary can rightfully be proud and happy for her Free For Bullying project! 
Great coverage in both tonight's DR1 and TV2 main news.
Here the clip from tonight's DR1 news:
https://www.dr.dk/tv/se/tv-avisen-me...-05-30#!/12:59
Mary tells:
"That there come so many children, happy and ready, for running against bullying makes me incredibly happy and it helps to create even more attention to that we have to do something against bullying."
"It's a great pleasure that the figures proves to be going in the right direction, but there are still far too many of our children who are bullied in our kindergartens and schools."
The boy - the 10-year-old Jakob Lunddal think today's run was totally nice. And what was extra great? Jakob has previously met Mary - and Mary - she could still remember his name!!
