Christian Williams is a National level hammer thrower and member of the Australian Men's Lacrosse team. Williams is also a former U19 & U21 Australian team captain. Just recently he was chosen to be a torchbearer for the Beijing Olympic Torch Relay. He has overcome many obstacles as an athlete, but also as a human being, as he has struggled with heart failure and genetic heart disease. Currently, Williams is an athlete, motivational speaker and elementary school teacher.
When asked why he joined Team Darfure, Williams said, "I joined Team Darfur because I believe that all children have the right to dream and make the most of their potential, in all walks of life. It is disturbing that the world sits back to watch the children of Darfur suffer. Instead of living their childhoods, they live in fear, suffer malnutrition and are subject to politically motivated genocide."
"As athletes, we can give these children a voice on a global stage and help make a difference; so that they can live their dreams, just like us."
