302 Mile Month-long Marathon
We did it!
There were highs, there were lows, and there were saddle sores. But all in all over the month of July our team of 23 contributors cover 7,904 miles and in the process raised an amazing £8,248 that will help improve the lives of young people in Malawi – particularly important right now as the work is in flux from COVID-19.
We extend our deepest gratitude to all participants, with special thanks to Sophie, Adam and Jamie for the organisation, Rich and Tom for the amazing dashboard, with a very special mention to Andrew – who covered over 1,000 miles! – and Faye, who clocked 108 hours of activity during the month.
We couldn’t do what we do without you. Thank you.
If you’d like to get involved with fundraising to help improve the lives of some Malawi’s most marginalised children, please get in touch.
