Scientologists Join Stralugano for a Drug-Free Europe
In a record-breaking edition of the Stralugano marathon, volunteers from the association Dico No alla Droga, inspired by the humanitarian teachings of L. Ron Hubbard and supported by the Church of Scientology, joined thousands of runners to promote healthy living and drug-free values. Their participation in the Run 4 Charity section turned sport into a message of prevention and social responsibility, highlighting how community action and education can help build a safer, more resilient Europe.
Say No to Drugs, Yes to Running: Scientologists Join Record-Breaking Stralugano to Promote a Healthy, Drug-Free Lifestyle

Lugano, Switzerland. This year’s Stralugano — one of Switzerland’s most beloved sporting events — achieved record participation, uniting thousands of runners from across the region under the banner of community spirit and personal achievement. Among the participants was the humanitarian association Dico No alla Droga, which took part in the Run 4 Charity section to reaffirm a message that resonates deeply in today’s society: sport and positive values are powerful alternatives to drug use.
The group, composed of volunteers, friends, and supporters, joined the event to show that prevention and awareness can also be built through action, unity, and enthusiasm. “We brought our members, friends, and sympathizers to run with us — a symbolic yet meaningful gesture to emphasize our message,” said representatives of Dico No alla Droga. “We believe that sport offers a real and constructive alternative to the so-called ‘high’ of drugs, promoting health, energy, and solidarity.”
Among the runners was Simone Leo, an internationally recognized ultramarathoner known for combining endurance with purpose. “Running gives people a natural and lasting sense of accomplishment,” he said. “When you push yourself to the limit and cross a finish line, the reward is authentic. That’s something no drug can ever replace.”
A Humanitarian Movement with a Global Reach
Dico No alla Droga (Say No to Drugs) is part of the international Foundation for a Drug-Free World, a non-profit organization supported by members of the Church of Scientology. Founded on the humanitarian principles set forth by L. Ron Hubbard, the Church’s social campaigns are rooted in the conviction that education — not repression — is the most effective form of prevention.
Mr Hubbard wrote that “the single most destructive element present in our current culture is drugs,” emphasizing that only through accurate information can people make informed, life-affirming choices. Following this principle, the campaign provides free educational materials, booklets, and audiovisual resources to schools, youth groups, and public institutions. Volunteers organize information stands, lectures, and events like this one, inspiring people to choose life, health, and responsibility.
Across Europe, thousands of volunteers have joined this movement in over 100 European groups, often combining their personal passions — from athletics to the arts — with public awareness initiatives. In doing so, they illustrate a key idea behind the campaign: that personal discipline and self-respect, fostered by activities like sports, are natural shields against addiction and despair.
The participation of Dico No alla Droga in the Stralugano is more than a gesture of solidarity; it reflects a proactive model of prevention that engages rather than isolates. By bringing together families, athletes, and citizens around a shared cause, such initiatives strengthen community bonds while giving visibility to a message of hope and self-empowerment.
The group’s local coordinator explained that, “Our goal is not to moralize, but to inform. We want young people to understand what drugs really do, and to know that they have choices — choices that lead to a better, freer life.”
Events like Stralugano offer a visible, positive setting for that message to take root, where the spirit of competition merges with compassion and civic responsibility.
A Message Resonating with European Values
Ivan Arjona-Pelado, the Church of Scientology’s representative to the European Union, the OSCE, the Council of Europe, and the United Nations, praised the initiative, stating:
“What we see in Lugano is not just a local campaign but a reflection of a broader European principle — that human dignity is strengthened when people are empowered with knowledge and purpose. The Church of Scientology’s volunteers show that prevention, education, and community engagement can transform lives very effectively. This is the essence of social responsibility in action.”
Created under the inspiration of L. Ron Hubbard and propelled forward by Scientology’s ecclesiastical leader, Mr David Miscavige, with a visionary drive to elevate standards to cutting-edge excellence, the “Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Life” campaign has reached hundreds of millions of people in more than 180 countries. Through its educational booklets — translated into dozens of languages — and the widely distributed Truth About Drugs series, the campaign equips youth with factual information about the short- and long-term effects of the most commonly abused substances. The program has earned endorsements from educators, law-enforcement professionals, and community leaders for its effective, non-confrontational approach to prevention.
The Church of Scientology, founded by L. Ron Hubbard, is dedicated to advancing the betterment of humanity through education, ethics, and humanitarian action. Across the European continent, Scientology Churches, missions, and affiliated groups carry out a wide range of community programs addressing human rights education, drug prevention, moral literacy, and disaster relief. Its recognition as a charitable and bona fide religion continues to grow throughout Europe, with national courts and public institutions acknowledging the Church’s social contribution and commitment to civic values.

Safety Doesn’t Have to Be Scary: Global Airport Taxi Launches London’s First Haunted Taxi Service This Halloween
London, England, 10th October 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Halloween is around the corner, and while ghouls, ghosts, and haunted houses are meant to give you a fright, your ride home shouldn’t. This year, Global Airport Taxi is combining thrills with safety in a first-of-its-kind launch: London’s Haunted Taxi Service, a festive yet secure way for families, friends, and partygoers to travel during the spookiest season of the year.
Safety Doesn’t Have to Be Scary
For many Londoners, Halloween is filled with late-night events, costume parties, haunted trails, and pumpkin patch visits. But concerns around late-night travel, safe rides for families, and reliable transport for revelers often overshadow the fun. Global Airport Taxi is addressing those worries head-on with its campaign, “Safety doesn’t have to be scary — Global Airport Taxi ensures a secure ride home.”
By combining a fun Halloween theme with their professional 24/7 licensed drivers and trusted service, the company ensures that riders can enjoy seasonal festivities without having to worry about getting home safely.
Ride If You Dare – Haunted Taxis Take Over London
“Ride if you dare — London’s first Haunted Taxi Service arrives this Halloween,” says the company’s marketing team. But the thrills are only surface-deep: under the Halloween glow, passengers still enjoy the same professional, punctual, and safe travel that Global Airport Taxi is known for.
A Family-Friendly Halloween Transport Option
For parents, safety is a top concern when shuttling children between Halloween activities. From pumpkin patches on the city’s outskirts to haunted trails and trick-or-treat events, reliable transport is essential. Global Airport Taxi makes family travel both festive and stress-free.
“From pumpkin patches to haunted trails — we’ll drive your family to all the Halloween fun,” says the campaign’s message. Vehicles are equipped to handle everything from bulky costumes and trick-or-treat buckets to strollers and luggage. Complimentary child and booster seats are available on request, making this service uniquely family-friendly.
Avoid Nightmares, Choose Safety
Halloween night in London is famously busy. Streets are crowded, and rideshare surges can leave passengers stranded or paying inflated fares. Global Airport Taxi’s solution? Fixed, transparent fares with advance booking options so passengers don’t have to worry about spooky surprises.
“Don’t let your Halloween turn into a nightmare — get home safe with Global Airport Taxi,” the campaign warns. With professional drivers trained in both city navigation and customer care, riders can enjoy peace of mind while moving between venues, whether it’s a central London party or a late-night return from the suburbs.
Blending Festivity with Responsibility
While Halloween is about fun, it also brings higher risks on the roads due to late-night travel, increased pedestrian activity, and distracted drivers. Global Airport Taxi is using this campaign to highlight its safety-first commitment:
-
Licensed, vetted drivers with years of experience.
-
24/7 availability, even on Halloween night when demand peaks.
-
Flight tracking & real-time monitoring for airport pickups and late returns.
-
Meet & Greet services for those arriving in costume or needing assistance.
By pairing these features with seasonal fun, the Haunted Taxi Service is not only unique but also socially responsible — reminding the community that safety doesn’t need to be sacrificed for entertainment.
Why Global Airport Taxi Stands Out
With over a decade of experience providing airport transfers and local journeys, Global Airport Taxi has become a trusted household name. Known for its global network across 150+ countries, the company brings professionalism to seasonal campaigns like Halloween while maintaining its standard of excellence.
Unlike ordinary taxi services, Global Airport Taxi focuses on reliability, comfort, and community engagement. The Halloween campaign reinforces the brand’s image as more than a ride — it’s a safe, memorable experience tailored to the season.
A Call to Londoners This Halloween
Global Airport Taxi invites Londoners of all ages to take part in this unique Halloween transport experience. Whether you’re dressing up for a themed party, taking your kids to a pumpkin patch, or catching a red-eye flight from Heathrow, the Haunted Taxi Service ensures a smooth ride without scary surprises.
The message is clear: Safety doesn’t have to be scary. Ride if you dare. And don’t let your Halloween turn into a nightmare — get home safe with Global Airport Taxi.
