THE SOL Y LUNA FOUNDATION
In the heart of Peru's Sacred Valley, where breathtaking landscapes often hide the realities of extreme poverty, the Sol y Luna Foundation was created with a simple yet powerful belief: every child deserves to be loved, to feel safe, and to have the opportunity to dream. Since 1998, the Foundation has worked to restore hope through education, care and community, proving that lasting change begins by investing in people.
Today that mission reaches far beyond the classroom.

For Thomas, this is not simply a cause to support, it is home.
He spent his entire childhood at the Sol Y Luna School, growing up alongside classmates from every walk of life, learning that compassion, equality, and opportunity have the power to transform lives. The values that guide him today were shaped within these classrooms, on the playgrounds and by this community.
Running TOR330 is his way of giving back. Every kilometre is dedicated to the children who are writing their own stories today, and to ensuring that many more will have the same opportunity to learn, grow, and dream.
