In 2009, a bunch of us from Freehills decided to run crazy distances in order to raise money for a very good cause. We're back again in 2010, this time teaming up with a coalition of corporate organisations, and we're hoping to raise even more money for 40k Foundation.
40k Foundation is a not-for-profit foundation built from the ground up by young Australians to make a meaningful impact on the developing world. Their maiden project, building an eco-sustainable education and boarding facility for kids living on and around the granite quarry sites of Bangalore, will open on October 3.
We're hoping to raise enough money to make sure things go smoothly on October 3, and to give 40k Foundation a boost to get them on their way for their next project.
Please help us to make a difference by making a donation to this page. All donations great or small are very welcome!
