Whenever possible, Alexandre Sartorato will send you updates on the progress of the Round the World Challenge.

We're in Greece. An extremely complicated route! Snow, rain, wind, altitude and a lot of difficulty for the team to supply me...I can't run on the highway...I spend hours and hours alone, carrying a full backpack. The locals gave me a heater to put in the tent....'s a very small town...there's no hotel...the town mayor gave me a room in the school to stay overnight. Tomorrow will be ten working days... God willing, the day after tomorrow, I'll be in Albania.

Tomorrow will be ten working days... God willing, the day after tomorrow I will enter Albania. The boys are having difficulty renting a car for themselves. The one they rented can only be driven in Greece.

I've already crossed Egypt, Greece, I've been through Albania, I've returned to Greece... right now I'm in Niki, Greece, about 500 meters from North Macedonia... I'll cross the border tomorrow morning.

I'm in Macedonia. I'm with a great friend, Marco, who supported me today. He and his family helped me in 2007 on my first trip around the world.

I've already lost a nail and I have a blister on my heel. I had to open my shoes to speed up the healing process, which takes about 4 days.

Although the roads in Europe are of excellent quality, I cannot run on them. I have to take the side roads because it is forbidden to run on the highway. These roads are usually made of dirt and stones with winding paths, making the route much more difficult.

Two weeks have passed. Today I arrived in Serbia, the fifth country and I continue on to complete my second trip around the world.

(April 16th)

 

Both my feet and knees hurt a lot. My team has a lot of difficulty providing logistical support. This means I have to carry a backpack with clothes and food all day long.

(April 18th)

 

The next few days will be extremely difficult. I will continue to be firm, with faith in God. But the more difficult it gets, the more I feel God's presence. Everything will work out! I trust in the God who moves me.
