My first marathon was in autumn of 1995.

A quarter of a century has passed and I completed more than 250 marathons with being supported by many people, I never forget to thank all the people.

And when I found out that I could help someone in need by running, I became a member of this amazing family, this is 1000km Balkan Charity Challenge!
