To celebrate by 50 years on this planet I'm raising funds to support 8 year old Jack who has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. 

Failing a medical breakthrough, Jack's life will follow a predetermined path, mapped out by this progressive muscle wasting condition. In short, he will no longer be able to walk by the time he reaches adolescence and will lose the use of every single muscle in his body thereafter. He may need spinal rods to keep him upright and ventilation to help him breath. Eventually his heart and lungs will fail and he will die.

Funds raised will go towards research in finding a treatment for Duchenne and help children like Jack. 

For 50 weeks I aim to do the following:

Complete x1 marathon per week - this will be a mixture of unofficial and official marathons 

Not get my haircut - top knot, here I come. #LifeGoals

Give up all alcohol - this means not drinking on my 50th birthday, at any weddings or just the odd tipple with Kath. 

As they say, there's no rest for the wicked - if I don't complete it I will treble the amount raised so every penny counts my friends
