Tony McMurray’s Bulgarian 56 Peaks Challenge started in 2022 and is aiming to raise funds and awareness for the causes of For Our Children Foundation. For the first 18 months of the challenge, Tony along with 35 friends and supporters has managed to climb 20 of the 56 peaks over 2500 m and raise almost 9 000 BGN of the initial 10 000 BGN goal. The challenge continues and Tony is motivated to not only climb the rest of the peaks, but to increase his fundraising goal to 20 000 BGN. All raised funds will be used to further develop FOC’s early childhood development programs focused on social, psychological and therapeutical support for vulnerable children and children with disabilities.
Over the past three years, this challenge has united more than 80 amazing people from across Bulgaria and beyond. People who have joined at various stages, sharing in the adventure, the struggle, and the triumphs along the way. More importantly, it has helped raise much-needed awareness and funds for the For Our Children Foundation, supporting their incredible work in giving vulnerable children a better start in life.
