In how many Run4aChild editions\/challenges did you participate?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is actually my first edition participating with a team, however, I participated as an individual runner in Challenge# 7 “From Kibera with Love”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you enjoy participating in the Run4aChild initiatives?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes ! I absolutely do and I would also like to congratulate you guys from this initiative. I\u00b4m truly happy to be a part of this community and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Tell us about your personal experience in the Run4aChild challenges.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think running is amazing, it makes me feel alive and its good for my health. At the same time, to have a noble goal is perfect. This is my first official challenge where I can participate in all of the categories individual and team goals and I am already on fire  :). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How\/what did you feel when you completed a challenge? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I felt accomplished and it was such an honor to reach the last kilometre in challenge #7 and I know I will feel the same way this time too.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you think Run4aChild had\/has a positive impact in your life? How?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes! It has the same impact as day-to-day good acts of kindness, like when you help someone in a store, donate money or food to a homeless person, help an elderly person cross the road, etc.. it is the same sensation.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Were there any changes to your lifestyle thanks to your participation?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been an active man all my life. I practice a lot of sports and running is one of those that I practice on a daily basis, but now I have another motivation to run even more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


What is your biggest motivation to join this cause?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help children all over the world that are in need. Life can be so beautiful and so simple if you help everyone.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you think the original goals will be met this time?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, no doubt! People like to run and to have an active lifestyle and this is something you can do at the same time. Two objectives in one!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would you recommend taking part in the initiative to anyone?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes! I try to spread the word as much as possible because Run4aChild is amazing. People have told me that this is a brilliant idea to help children while helping people to also stay active. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have any advice for Run4aChild future runners?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep going! The path is always ahead. Grab a pair of running shoes, be happy, stay healthy and challenge yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
