Story
Are you looking for a 2022 challenge to rally your team whilst also empowering the survivors of modern slavery and financial crime?
Join TRIBE Freedom Foundation, the TRIBE community and a growing collective of RegTech companies to train as a team and take on the TRIBE Relay Across Scotland; an epic 220 km coast to coast relay established to fight modern slavery and open for runners of all abilities!
Taking place in Scotland on 24-25 June, we will run in teams of 4 or 8 through the day into the night. We will push the limits of human endurance and cover 220 km (split over 16 legs between 7km - 24km). All in just 24 hours to fight modern slavery.
Why?
Did you know, there are currently 40.3 million people living in modern slavery and an estimated 136,000 people trapped in slavery in the UK. That's more than any other time in history.
They're trapped in factories, businesses, and homes. Making our clothes, serving our food, picking our crops, working in factories, or working in houses as cooks, cleaners, or nannies.
This needs to stop.
That's why TRIBE, Nasdaq and the RegTech community are coming together to increase awareness and raise vital funds to support TRIBE Freedom Foundation as they work to empower the survivors of modern slavery.
Together, we will push ourselves further and faster over the course of the 24-hour challenge, testing our own limits and running for freedom to support the victims of modern slavery and help prevent a lifetime without hope.
The opportunity to run free, to take on a challenge like this, a challenge entirely of our own choosing and to help empower the survivors of modern slavery is something that is both incredibly humbling and inspiring in equal measures. - Darren Innes, Head of Nasdaq's Anti-Money Laundering business
