I’m 37 years old, I live in Switzerland and I work on my own farm, with horses and producing wine grapes.
I started running marathons in Brazil when I was 21. After my first marathon in Sao Paolo, I finished my first Abbott World Marathon Major in Berlin 2002.
This year, I finished my 34th marathon and completed the Abbott World Marathon Majors Series in London with a personal best (3:16). During this period, I finished various marathons all over the world. The most special one was the polar bear challenge in Kangerlussuaq Greenland 2016.

In the summer, I complete mountain marathons and in the future, I dream about to running a marathon in less than 3 hour, or maybe I’ll run ultra marathons.
My planned races are glacier 3000 run in Gstaad, a marathon in Havanna, Dubai and Rotterdam. And I want to participate on the ultra trail marathon on Madeira Island.
Thank you for letting me be a part of the Abbott World Marathon Majors. It’s a great honour for me and I feel very proud of it.
