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!
- How did you hear about Run4aChild?
Answer: Through Rita, former work colleague, who is a WIT-Software employee.
- 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 😉
- What is your biggest motivation to join Run4aChild?
Answer: to support good causes and help WIT Software to be recognized in that area.
- 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.
- 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.
