$1m goal for missing children
This year Mike kicks off a $1m fund raiser. 1,000 bricks in a wall for $1,000 each to support the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children in their endeavour to launch the Global Missing Children Engine in October 2025, a database of missing children that aims to connect law enforcement agencies around the world and assist in the discovery and recovery of missing and exploited children.
​​​​
As a supporter of this fund-raiser you will become a co-founder of the GMCNgine v2.0 and be immortalised on our digital wall with an engraving of your name on a shared ($1-999) or whole brick to yourself for $1,000.​​​
In a creative and symbolic gesture, the fundraiser will feature an exclusive piece of digital art depicting the journey that ultra-endurance athlete Mike Denoma will undertake during the Bigfoot 200, a gruelling 208-mile race through the incredible Cascade Mountains, in August 2024. This journey not only represents the physical and emotional challenges faced by those searching for missing children but also highlights the dedication and perseverance required in these efforts.
​
The artwork is painted on a wall consisting of 1,000 individual bricks, each symbolizing a step towards the launch of the GMCNgine v2.0. Supporters can contribute to this cause by purchasing a piece of a brick or an entire brick. Each brick can be sponsored for $1,000, and contributors will have their names permanently inscribed on the artwork, which will be displayed on the ICMEC website for all to see.
