Gilbert Summa

After an absence from the sport, Gilbert started running again when he was 50 years old but had never run more than a half marathon. Like 'Forrest Gump’, he decided to run longer and his first marathon was the Medoc Marathon. He hopes to join the 7 Continents Marathon Club in the next few years (so far : Marathon de Paris, Nagano Marathon, Marathon de Tanger). He is a member of Kiwanis International and Gilbert is fundraising for "UNICEF – ELIMLINATE", a not-for-profit charity that provides help and health to the underprivileged children all around the world (http://team.unicef.fr/projects/marathon-du-pole-nord-2015). The goal of the ELIMINATE Project is to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus (http://sites.kiwanis.org/Kiwanis/en/theELIMINATEproject). As a professional, Gilbert has managed companies in the IT world. His motto is : “It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that things are difficult."
