The 7 Charities
I am delighted to be supporting the following 7 charities through the epic round-the-world charity fundraising trip that is 7 Wonders in 7 Days. Through various activities between now and the trip in October, I aim to raise £777,000 which will be split equally between all 7 charities by Virgin Money Giving. Please consider donating. Thank you.
