Throughout July, colleagues and teams from across The Economist Group are coming together to cover the diameter of the globe - that's 12,742 km - and raise money for The Economist Educational Foundation.

The Economist Educational Foundation helps young people to understand our complex world and build the critical thinking and communication skills they need to meet its challenges. 

I'm taking part in this fundraising initiative during the month of July. I've set my own personal target of covering 25k through dedicated running and walking activities.  

I'll post updates during the month. Thanks for your support!
