Allesandro Souza

Allessandro has completed 3 marathons, 1 ultra marathon and the "El Cruce de los Andes" in two occasions - a mountain race that crosses the Andes, linking Argentina and Chile for a distance of over 100km divided into 3 stages. The Regional Head of Business Process Management at a global agribusiness company was sedentary until he started running in 2008 with the objective of a better work/personal life, as well as improving health. Once introduced to trail running and the amazing mountains in Patagonia, Allesandro set himself a target to run in fantastic places (like Antarctica) driven by the landscape and adventure to overcome personal challenges. In 2014, the dream of running in Antarctica will come true for him and he is using this marathon to raise money for the GRAACC - Support Group for Adolescents and Children with Cancer.
