Or rather: who is Stefaan Engels?
For a start, he's a 48-year-old from Ghent who enjoys life and is fanatic about sports. Eager to spread his message. And because of that, he is restless, always on the lookout for new ideas and campaigns that get people moving. The list of projects is long: the exhibition "Beweeg!tentoonstelling", Partena health insurance fund's "Beweegmobiel", Ironmanagers, Move@work, 3together, Factor 100.
But Stefaan wanted more. That is why he is putting his own body to the test. Setting records, getting media attention and being an inspiration and motivation to other people. The first time was in 2008, when he completed 20 long-distance triathlons and made the Guinness Book of Records. And now again, in 2010, by running a marathon every day.
Obviously, Stefaan didn't just achieve this overnight. For years, Stefaan has been a very driven practitioner of endurance sports. He's been running marathons for twenty years, and triathlons for ten years.
