Juggler is raising funds for The Atlas Foundation
Having supported Jason Leonard OBE since the very start of The Atlas Foundation in 2014, I (My lovely Wife & wonderful Kids actually) felt it was necessary to do something more challenging, than Golf, Cycling, Lunching and to give me a focus to get fit and healthy for 2025 !
Atlas Mountain & Himalayan double-header challenge
Having grown up and visited many African countries I have seen first hand what it means to come from a disadvantaged background and have witnessed children living in extreme poverty. I understand the challenges and barriers many children face in accessing education, healthcare, and basic needs such as clean running water and just one meal a day, which is why I have chosen to raise funds for the Atlas Foundation.
#AtlasAdvent in aid of Virreyes Rugby Club
This Christmas, we’re our Atlas Advent Appeal to support Virreyes Rugby Club in Buenos Aires.
Growing up in the Villas is tough—poverty and gang violence are part of everyday life. But Virreyes is changing that, creating a safe space where rugby becomes a tool for transformation.
Our goal is to raise £1,500 to fund these life-changing programmes, and we can’t do it without you.
