Matthew Pryke is raising money for Fine & Country Foundation
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Ironman Sweden · 20 August 2016

The Fine & Country Foundation has been created to help combat one of the largest social issues in the UK – homelessness. Last year, the Government estimated around 2,414 people sleep on the street on any one night across England, a rise of 36% over three years. Often the reasons for homelessness are misunderstood, with many blaming the individuals for poor life decisions and carelessness. The reality is: people become homeless for a whole range of complex and overlapping reasons that cannot be avoided, such as family breakdowns, mental or physical health problems or debts. Solving homelessness does not only involve putting a roof over people’s heads, it is also trying to tackle the root of the problem and asking the question: why did they became homeless in the first place? The Fine & Country Foundation is dedicated to bringing together all Fine & Country agents in over 300 locations worldwide to raise awareness of the causes of homelessness whilst supporting homeless charities.

Story

This is my biggest challenge to date:

  • a 2.4m swim in the Baltic sea,
  • a 112m bike, and
  • then a marathon (26.2m run)

all within 17 hours. 

I am raising funds for the Fine & Country Foundation which raises much needed money for the causes of homelessness. I am a Trustee of this Foundation and it is very close to my heart.

Your challenge is to donate as generously as you are able and I and the Foundation will be forever grateful.
