John Braun

A Geography teacher who has always wanted to stand at the single point of the World from which you only can go South. John is fascinated by the idea of running on the Arctic Ocean. As a sports addict since his youth, he has practiced lots of different disciplines such as skateboarding, snowboarding, paragliding, freeclimbing, alpinisme (Mont Blanc, Kilimanjaro), windsurfing and kiting - but endurance sport is his favourite. Having run several marathons and long distance triathlons such as the Embrunman in the French Alps, John is always looking for a new challenge. He will be raising funds for a realtively new association called Groupes Sportifs Oncologiques (www.sportifsoncologiques.lu) which helps and supports cancer patients through sports activities.
