OXFORD – A one of a kind presentation designed to bring a proactive anti-bullying message to middle school students across the U.S. made a return stop at the Oxford Academy Middle School Wednesday for student in grades five through eight.

The program, aptly named 'Sweethearts & Heroes' is catching on nationwide, emphasizing an action based approach and going beyond mere awareness in an effort to thwart the pressing issue of bullying that occurs not only in our schools – but also our neighborhoods and homes.

“Just talking about awareness doesn’t fix anything,” says Tom Murphy, a husband and father who competed on the second season of Spike TV’s The Ultimate Fighter.

New York-based Murphy, along with cofounder Jason Spector, developed the program and consistently tour the program to middle and high school students, parents and entire communities.

“What separates us from other anti-bullying presentations and projects is that we have the plan to curb and even stop bullying, wherever it exists for you,” said Murphy.
