What is the Seven Seven Seven project?

The Seven Seven Seven project, initiated by Joel Runyon, involved running seven ultramarathons on seven continents. The project's primary objective was to raise funds and awareness for Pencils of Promise, an organization that builds schools in developing countries. By the end of the project, Runyon successfully completed the races and raised about $192,000, surpassing the initial goal of $175,000. This funding was used to construct seven schools, impacting communities in Ghana, Guatemala, and Laos 1 2 3.
