What’s next?

Running the 2010 London Marathon on April 25, 2010

Why?

Started running at the age of 35 (in April 2009) and as a real gentleman shouldn’t go on and on about what he does to stay fit, I want to dedicate my running to create leverage and sustainability, from entrepreneurship and business ethics to sports and social responsibility!
