LG Ruhrgebiet meets Homeless Entrepreneur

PMI Supports The Great Walk 2025: United for Social Impact and Against Homelessness

In the summer of 2025, PMI joins forces with Homeless Entrepreneur to send a strong message of social responsibility. We’re supporting The Great Walk – a Europe-wide initiative that shines a light on the challenges and potential of people without permanent housing.

20 Marathons, 5 Countries, 880 Kilometers

The Great Walk is not a sports event – it's a mission with a social purpose. Two formerly homeless men, Andrew and Toby, will walk from Linz to Madrid in just 30 days. The 880-kilometer route, divided into 20 marathons, runs through Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain. This route is symbolic – highlighting the invisibility and daily challenges homeless people face, especially in the hot summer months when heat-related deaths significantly increase.

On August 7, Andrew and Toby will arrive at Zeche Zollverein in Essen. As the Local Group Rhineland in Cologne, the Local Group Ruhrgebiet would like to welcome them to Essen with a meeting and take the opportunity to talk about their project. We have reserved a table at the Mezzo Mezzo am Zollverein, Gelsenkirchener Str. 187, 45309 Essen for this purpose.

Since the project is funded by donations, we will set up a donation box.
