We organize expeditions where physical challenge meets responsibility.
We travel to places under pressure, unseen communities, untold narratives.
And don’t just witness. We carry. We give. We document.
And we invite you: adventurers, brands, and filmmakers, to become part of a growing movement that leaves something behind.

We take on extreme expeditions. We give back. We capture real stories.
Wij geloven niet in afstandelijke liefdadigheid. Ons impactwerk is persoonlijk, respectvol en altijd in samenwerking met lokale stemmen.
Each expedition is documented by our in-house creators. Through film and photography, we amplify untold stories. Stories of strength, solidarity, and survival.
This isn’t for everyone, and it’s not meant to be. But if it’s for you, you already know. You feel the pull to go further, give more, and make it count.
We will carry weight. 25 kilos, split between what we need, and what we give. We will carry stories. From those whose voices are overlooked, yet whose strength defines the journey. We will carry responsibility. To give back, to tell the truth, and to leave something meaningful behind. And we will run. A lot. A trailrun of 21km at an altitude of 3500 m. Less than 48 hours after descending. Are you ready for this adventure?
