Running for health & raising for charity

I feel very passionate about equal rights, regardless of who you are, as long as you do not cause any harm to anyone else.

As a gay man, married to my long term partner, I have personally been exposed to international discrimination that has caused a huge impact in our lives; having to take decisions and actions that have impacted immensely the course of our journey together.

I truly believe that every responsible adult, without exception of who you are or where you come from, must have the same opportunities and freedom in the world.
