Hello everyone,

My name is Jack Pridmore and for one full week between the 1st-8th of February 2015 I will going on a somewhat mammoth journey to every single county in England in the name of OCD awareness.

During those 7 days I will be running 3 marathons, cycling hundreds of miles, climbing/walking/stumbling over some of England's largest mountains, travelling by foot, boat, tram, car, train and any other forms of transport I can whilst camping when I need to and hopefully meeting lots of OCD sufferers and non OCD sufferers along the way!

I want everyone to be as involved with this as possible. If you have a bed for the night to offer, want to join me for small routes, can tweet/facebook/youtube about what I'm doing and/or donate to an incredible charity I'd be so grateful. If you have any press and media contacts or just have a question please get in touch.

OCD has dominated my life for as long as I can remember. Without the unwavering and impeccible support of organisations like OCD Action I wouldn't even be able to consider this challenge possible. The more money we can make through this event, the more opportunities become available for them to continue to educate the public and support sufferers on a day to day basis.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder takes on many horrid masks and stretches far beyond the stereotypes. The ever changing face of the condition is what inspired this unique and varied event. OCD affects everyone. Every town I pass by will have sufferers who have varied daily challenges brought on by their condition and I hope this journey will symbolically highlight the severity, variability and importance of understanding mental illness and OCD.

Thanks so much for reading. Please pass this on wherever possible, donate to my justgiving page and give me a wave when I fly through your town!

Jack
