Since when have you been running? Why is running special to you?

On my own, I started running longer distances regularly about five years ago. Once I discovered I did not have to force myself and I could just go my own pace, I really started enjoying it. As well, I really liked the great feeling after having run a long distance. Actually, running has always been also a good thing to keep in shape while abroad. It gave me the possibility to discover different cities like Paris or small fisherman villages in India. Running always let me discover these places from a perspective that I probably would not have discovered on a standard sightseeing tour.

What charity are you contributing to? What connects you to it?

I am running for different charities. The selection of my challenges is mostly spontaneous as I think that all the challenges are absolutely great and worth raising money for. Personally, I liked the “big run to change children’s lives” very much – maybe because I used to be an elementary school teacher and also like the idea that children get their mentor. I think it is an investment in the young person’s and our own future.

How is atlasGO helping you help others?

It makes things just very simple to just hit a button and run for a good cause. As well, it gives me additional motivation to put my shoes on and go for a run, get in shape and do something good for a particular cause at the same time. Recently, I felt that more and more people want to do something good for the world – atlasGO gives us the possibility to do so and everytime I can motivate other people to use the App, it motivates me even more.
