Meet João Santos! #Runnerspotlight

João Santos, member of the “Tejo Runners” team and a top athlete that has been committed continuously with Run4aChild, participating in all our challenges! Thank you for your dedication!

  1. How did you hear about Run4aChild?

Answer: Through Rita, former work colleague, who is a WIT-Software employee.

  1. In how many challenges did you participate and how many times did you reach the individual goal (120km)?

Answer: I participated in all of them, and I always reached the 120km – in fact always by a wide margin 😉

  1. What is your biggest motivation to join Run4aChild?

Answer: to support good causes and help WIT Software to be recognized in that area.

  1. What was your favorite challenge and why?

Answer: I really identified with Challenge #4 “Cyclone Idai” because it had a time component, i.e. immediate help was needed at that moment given the catastrophic event that occurred. I felt that WIT Software was aware of the state of the world and ready to act. In any case, I found all the challenges extremely interesting and they always gave me the opportunity to learn about some reality that was more unknown to me.

  1. Do you have any suggestions for the implementation of Run4aChild?

Answer: Sometimes when I sign in again, I am asked for authorization to my Strava account data. This should only happen the first time. The feeling is that the authorization is lost and as an athlete I am left in doubt if the kms have been well accounted for the last days/weeks.

Congratulations João Santos, you are an inspiration to us all!

May this testimony be an inspiration to everyone who wants to run for a cause and achieve results.

Keep going, Runners! The Challenge ends on September 30th

Your Run4aChild Team.
