Project X - Stage 1

Project X. Stage 1.

Good morning everyone. Today I write these words to introduce you to my new adventure that aims to support Dreams of Kathmandu: Project X.

What is life without adventures and new challenges? What is life without knowing our potential and exploring the world around us? What is life without feeling in the fullness of our senses, the strength of a dream?

My dream is to live great adventures and at the same time collect funds to support social causes. This concept of humanitarian adventure is what I truly passionate about.

So, I decided to launch Project X.

Project X is a humanitarian adventure that aims to raise funds for the project Dreams of Kathmandu in Nepal, the country that invaded my heart and yours 6 years ago, at the time of the great Kathmandu earthquake in April 2015.

The objective of Project X is to live great adventures in remote locations in the four corners of the world, to conquer great mountains and to obtain important rankings in the largest marathons in the world, is it possible?

Only by trying I will know the answer to that question.

Because in Project X, what matters is the journey itself, the attempt, and not so much the final goals and achievements. The important thing is to share the adventures of the journey, the decisions, the adventures, the dreams, the anxieties, the people, the foods, the equipment, and the places involved.

Project X is about the journey and not the final destination.

Project X will be implemented over 7 stages in 4 years. Each of these stages will be revealed in due course and the goal is for each new stage to be more fantastic than the previous one.

And Stage 1 is already here.

On March 21^st, 2021 I will travel to Kenya, to the heart of Africa during 55 days, and train with the great champions of athletics in Eldoret, village of Iten. This place could well be called the Mecca of athletics. From here come dozens of Olympic champions in the most diverse categories of athletics.

I will live with the Kenyan athletes and adopt their lifestyle, in a place where everything and everyone lives for athletics. What does it take to be a great champion? What sacrifices are behind the Olympic medals?

The objective of this first stage of Project X is to raise € 5,000 to pay education expenses to several children that we are supporting in the cause Dreams of Kathmandu. 

And I come here today to invite you to be part of this project. Travel, run and climb with me. If you feel it is worth it, spread the word, share it, get involved and follow this great epic adventure. I will report everything regularly on my Facebook or Instagram pages that have the name Pedro Queiros Project X.

A website was also created in Portuguese and English, where you can learn the entire history and contribute to the cause through the various means available: www.pedroqueiros.com

Thank you everyone for your attention!

Project X, do you dare to dream?

UPDATE: THE FINAL RESULT OF THE FUNDRAISING FOR PROJECT X - STAGE 1 WAS 6538€! THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO GOT INVOLVED.
