Foundation of Light COO to sleep out at Stadium of Light to help tackle homelessness
Foundation of Light Chief Operating Officer Jamie Wright will join bosses from companies across the North East to take part in CEO Sleepout.
We’re very excited about next year’s challenge which takes in some beautiful scenery along a route less travelled by cycling groups. Our International Cycle Challenge is one of our favourite events and the feedback we get every year from those who take part is fantastic. During the ride, friendships are forged, memories made, and goals accomplished, and we’d welcome enquiries from anyone considering taking part.
