They’ll tackle 42.2km on each continent in a whirlwind of grit, determination, and inspiration. But this isn’t just about pushing their limits. Their mission? To raise funds for the Sparkle Foundation and the Sovereign Art Foundation—two organizations making a transformative impact on underprivileged children across Asia, Africa, and Europe.

This ambitious feat demands more than just courage.
