The marathon runs have helped Jack to support local charities and he has raised over £100,000 since his running career began. In 2010 he will be supporting Kent organisation Cerebral Palsy Care of Cliffe Woods.
“The work Cerebral Palsy Care of Cliffe Woods do is amazing in enriching the lives of children affected by Cerebral Palsy. The staff are so dedicated to the kids and it’s an honour to do what I can to help them in their work. Seeing how the money raised benefits the children is motivation enough for me when I’m running.”
Jack will be supported in Death Valley by a crew of six including his loyal wife Megs. The crew van will travel alongside Jack to keep him motivated and hydrated.
Supporters can follow Jack’s progress through video and photo updates on facebook by becoming a fan of his official page ‘Death Valley Jack’ and helping Jack get more fans than Usain Bolt. Seven Seas will be incentivising supporters to encourage their friends to join by donating money each week to Cerebal Palsy of Cliffe Woods if the Facebook group reaches set fan number targets.
Jack and his support crew will also tweet on his race progress via @deathvalleyjack from July 11th.
