Ivan Poza. I have been invited by two of the founders of Deporte y Desafio Marathon Team to join the challenge of a diverse group of sport amateurs and friends that every year try NOT ONLY, to break new barriers of personal endurance, training and time records in one selected Marathon, BUT ALSO and above all, they/we have an additional superior motivation: help raise money for the non-profit organization (Fundación Deporte y Desafio) whose dedication for handicapped children thru sport activities and adapted tutorials is really making a breakthrough on children’s lives.

This will be my 2nd Marathon I leave the rookie alias for my wife, Sonsoles, who will run for the first time the 42,125km. This year I have gathered more experience, some additional kilometers on my legs and some savvy to better train and compete during these months of preparation. It has been really hard to run (50-60 km x week) during summer time at 30º and I hope that the physical & mental extra effort will be rewarded beating my last year result of 3hr44min. During “low” moments (continuous motivation is hard to keep) I though of the challenge and honor to be part of this wonderful project & team …. Please help me with your donation by objectives for an extra mile bonus motivation …
