Ricky Bowry is raising money for St. James's Place Charitable Foundation
Team: WORK WEEK team fundraising for St. James's Place Charitable Foundation
Story
WORK WEEK is a groundbreaking endurance adventure event starting on 7th April 2025. A group of friends are embarking on a challenge to complete 7 marathons, in 7 disciplines, over 7 days, traversing the rugged American Southwest.
WORK WEEK is dedicating each daily marathon to a different charity.
We are raising awareness for causes that are close to hearts of the athletes, as well as supporting some of the communities we will train and compete in.
The total funds raised will be evenly distributed among all seven charities, ensuring each cause receives equal support.
The St. James Place Foundation is kindly matching every donation received, making every pound and dollar work twice as hard!
