Claim 2: “The Memory Stones Project impacted tens of thousands of people around the world.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The evidence provided mentions a 'Memory Stones of Love Project' in Northern Ireland with circa 320 stones, which does not align with the claim of 'tens of thousands of people around the world'. Other results discuss the Jelling stones and The Rolling Stones, which are irrelevant.
