Our partnership with XNRG
Our XNRG partnership started when Neil Thurbron (XNRG Director) dedicated his race in the Arctic Circle to Humanity Direct. His challenge paid for 8-yr-old Grace to have complex reconstructive surgery so she could hear properly.
After seeing the impact his fundraising had on Grace’s life he offered to team up and invite his XNRG ultra running community to regularly fundraise for us. Since then, XNRG have donated the entrance fee’s helping raise over £100,000 for hundreds of life saving and life changing operations. The partnership also led to us setting up Glasses for Classes.
