Our Inspiration

Viggo Sorensen

At VIGGO SOFTWARE彡 the name we chose for our company carries deep meaning and embodies the spirit of a remarkable young man: Viggo Sorensen. Viggo was more than just a name; he was a person whose short but impactful life left a lasting mark on both people and animals. His story continues to inspire us and is the cornerstone of our mission to create technology that not only drives innovation but also enhances life and promotes compassion.

A Life Defined by Compassion

Viggo was known for his deep sense of empathy and generosity from a very young age. Even as a child, his compassion was evident through his dedication to animal welfare. At just 11 years old, Viggo became actively involved in animal rescue and protection efforts in his community. He raised awareness about animal welfare issues, took part in volunteer efforts, and helped rescue stray and injured animals. Viggo didn’t just speak about change - he acted on it. He understood the importance of giving back to all living creatures and did so with an admirable sense of responsibility.

 

Whether organizing charity drives, helping rehabilitate animals, or volunteering his time to raise awareness about animal welfare, Viggo lived his life as an advocate for those who couldn’t speak for themselves. He spent much of his time working to ensure animals received the care and protection they deserved. His work in animal welfare, particularly at such a young age, demonstrated a level of compassion and maturity far beyond his years.

Viggo’s school, GEMS Wellington, has created a Viggo Sorensen Award which will be given annually to the student who displays the best attitude over the course of the year.

A Talented Prodigy with a Passion for Life

In addition to his advocacy for animals, Viggo was an extraordinary athlete. As a rising golf prodigy, he was well on his way to becoming a prominent figure in the sporting world. His skill and dedication to golf were evident to everyone who knew him, but what truly set Viggo apart wasn’t just his talent on the course. It was his unwavering humility, kindness, and sportsmanship. He inspired everyone around him - not only through his talent but through his approach to life. Viggo believed in fairness, perseverance, and leading by example, both on and off the course.

Despite his undeniable talent, Viggo never allowed success to change him. He remained deeply connected to his values, especially his love for animals and his desire to make the world a better place. His passion for life, his empathy for others, and his dedication to causes he believed in made him a role model to his peers.

A Legacy of Life-Saving Generosity

Tragically, Viggo’s life was cut short at the age of 17. However, even in death, he continued to give to others. Viggo made the selfless decision to become an organ donor. His final act of generosity saved the lives of many people, giving them a second chance at life. His organ donations not only helped those individuals directly but also inspired others to follow in his footsteps by becoming organ donors themselves. Viggo’s impact didn’t end with his passing - it lives on in the hearts of the people he saved and in the memory of those who knew him.
