Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

A year ago I was inspired by a friend who ran a half marathon through a lot of effort and training. This year, I've been training myself (certainly not as much as my friend did!), and this September 25th I will be running Lisbon's Half Marathon. My objective is to successfully conclude the run.

By sponsoring my run, you'll be supporting Kiva.org, an organisation that helps change people's lives all over the world. In short, it's a microcredit organisation - with the credit going from the richer ones of this world to the poorer ones. I encourage you to visit their website to be inspired. (Please note that while Kiva.org is an organisation through which people *lend* money, your contribution in my fundraiser will not be lent - it will be a financial donation to support Kiva's amazing work).

In addition, I'll be running on behalf of "ogrupodopessoal", an incredible and fantastic group of around 40 university friends to which I belong. This group has recently taken on a charitable dimension, and I hope this endeavour will be just one more in those footsteps.
