Magic Future Foundation

Join the Run for Magic team! 🏃‍♀️🌟🏃 

The Magic Future Foundation is building 100 schools across the world's economically poorest countries, in partnership with leading international NGO buildOn.

This mission was launched in honour of Oliver Wissenbach, who passed away suddenly in 2019 at the age of 25. He was an educator, and following his passing, his family discovered a collection of thoughtful anonymous writings under the pseudonym Sam Leaper – reflections on compassion, purpose and leaving the world better than he found it. These writings and conversations Oliver had with his father inspired them to begin the 100 Schools Project - and there derived their purpose of "world better because".

In partnership with buildOn, they work hand-in-hand with local communities to create schools that don’t just open doors to education, but create opportunity, independence and choice.

To date, over 15,000 children have been enrolled in 30+ Magic Future Foundation completed schools - and they're going to keep going till they reach 100 schools built. 

Whether you’re taking on a half marathon or a full marathon, every mile you run helps bring a school closer to reality.

Join a global community of runners, families, and teams turning effort into impact.

One step, one brick, one school at a time.
