Scott's Ironman UK 2015
Fundraising for JOINING JACK
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
2015 will be the year I compete in the triathlon Bolton Ironman, to complete I must swim 2.4miles, cycle 112miles and run 26.2miles (marathon) all under 17 hours.
Hours upon hours of training has began and I'm prepared to do the graft day in day out.I've paid a £420 entry fee and spent thousands of pounds on triathlon equipment (increasing). All I ask is for your support via funds or sharing of my page to help raise awareness towards Joining Jack and a cure for DMD.
Just over two years ago I met Alex Johnson (mum of Jack) who spoke about the appaling news that his son had just been diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Duchenne is a terrible muscle wasting disease that effects only boys and has devestating consequences and a very short life expectancy of around 22 years.

Jacks parents are determined to do everthing possible to find a cure for all boys with Duchenne and have displayed remarkable determination to help find a cure and or a prevention of the decline. I have been inspired by them and Jack to do everything I can to help, I believe that enough progress can be made so that Jack and other boys like him can at the very least enjoy growing older.
Together we can do this, let's all Join Jack.
