Founded by Zach Vella, Home Bound’s mission is to combine the power of movement with the urgency of assisting people experiencing homelessness.

At its heart, Home Bound is about resilience, purpose, and community. It’s about turning every step into a statement, every kilometer into a call for change, and every finish line into a new beginning for those experiencing homelessness.

What Was the “Miles From Home” Challenge?

Zach Vella took on one of the most ambitious endurance feats Malta has ever seen: running 2,755km from London all the way back to Malta, completed across 51 consecutive days. The challenge was undertaken in aid of YMCA Malta, an organisation doing vital work to assist individuals experiencing homelessness and expanding essential community services across the island.

€145,000+ raised
