THE Great Walk
THE Great Walk
(Fundraising campaign to raise awareness & end global homelessness) The Toughest Charity Walk in Europe in 2025
20 Marathons.
5 Countries.
This August, The European Heat Aid Great Walk (2025) will attempt something never done before:
* 20 marathons in 30 days - walking from Linz to Madrid.
* Enduring relentless 40°C+ heat - like homeless individuals who have no shelter.
* Delivering life-saving Heat Aid in capital cities.
* Providing Empowerment-based solutions.
This is more than an endurance challenge; it's a mission to fight homelessness and heat-related deaths.
Where We Walk

FAQs
Q: Can you tell us, with your words, WHY you are doing this walk?
A: We are doing this walk to give 150 million people made of potential experiencing homelessness in the world a voice and presence in Europe during the hottest time of the year. We believe the homeless community should be given a chance to add value and shine throughout Europe. Our walk is a conscious act of inclusion to inspire states and corporations to incorporate the homeless community into the design of cities that should celebrate all of its citizens. Each Great Walk will end homelessness for at least one of the participants in our HELP program and raise funds to do the same for current and future beneficiaries of our main programs: Helpline, Voices and HELP.
*All of the Great Walkers have experienced homelessness or social exclusion, or are currently supporting Homeless Entrepreneur beneficiaries.
