Im Jack foster, I was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at a young age and I have made it my mission to raise money for people with cerebral palsy and do my best to also raise awareness of the condition.

I’m on a mission to raise £5,000.00 for the charity and race marathons, half marathons and other competitive races until I do this.

My last Marathon was 2019 and after a tough race I completed it despite all the challenges I faced. I would like to build on this and raise even more money for a much needed charity.

I have a different challenge now, I'm going to push my body to the limits to run/walk as far as possible for this great cause through competitive races. I'm doing this because I want to help people who suffer from Cerebral Palsy and show I can put my disability aside to achieve great things. I'm putting my everything into this and I'm determined to succeed.

All I want to do is put my everything into this and raise money for a truly fantastic cause. I'm committed to do the healthy eating, hard training and progress with my physio to ensure I complete the challenge. Nothing means more to me than helping people and that's what I want to do throughout my life!

How Cerebral Palsy affects me:

Cerebral Palsy effects me in a physical way mostly with my legs. It causes me to have weak muscles, walk on my toes (dues to problems with my Achilles Tendons) I can pull my muscles and get injured really easily and I suffer with a lot of pain in my legs especially during sport.I have physio to help maintain strength in my legs and I also have to perform stretches and wear night splints to help my muscles. I suffer with fatigue and mobility but I don’t let it stop me. I have took part in sport all my life despite setbacks and running the challenge will be my biggest challenge yet!

The money I raise will help support and contribute towards buying equipment for activities to encourage children and adults to exercise and stay fit. The money raised will also contribute to Cerebral Palsy sufferers getting the help and support they desperately need in their daily life which others take for granted.

Cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the motor control centers of the developing brain and can occur during pregnancy , during childbirth, or after birth up to about age three.

All donations very much appreciated by me and the charity Cerebral Palsy Sport.
