Many people will set a target of running a marathon in under 3 or 4 hours or even to complete the event itself. 

I however, have a very simple, yet very monumental objective. I will be aiming to increase the circumference of my calve muscles from 36cm to 38.5cm. This may seem like an easy feat for those calve endowed members of the public. However, if this doesn't work the only remaining option appears to be calve implants.

Over the coming 90 days I will provide a weekly update on the progress of my sweet, sweet calves and hope you can support me and Survival International with a kind donation.

What is even more important than the size of my calves is the charity I am running for. Survival International exists to prevent the annihilation of tribal groups and to give them a platform to speak to the world so they can bear witness to the genocidal violence, slavery and racism they face on a daily basis. By lobbying the powerful they help defend the lives, lands and futures of people who should have the same rights as other contemporary societies.
