Some people undertake a challenge for charity, whilst others seem to set an impossible goal.

I know how generous Romford supporters are. Can we raise £100 for Jack.

Former Romford FC coaching staff member Jack Pridmore will be running and cycling around every single county in England in February in the name of mental health awareness.

Jack, who suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, will be running three marathons in one week - cycling through county after county, taking boats, trains, trams and hitchhiking all in one week.

OCD is, according to the World Health Organisation, one of the top 10 most debilitating conditions in terms of quality of life and is often misrepresented in the media as being quirky, or a mild mental health condition 'that everyone has'. Jack's aim is to bring some national media attention to the issue and educate the public on the reality, raise some much needed funds for national charity OCD Action and show that despite the severity of OCD - sufferers can manage the condition enough to live a fulfilling life.

To sponsor Jack go to www.justgiving.com/ocdjack or text JOCD99 £2 to 70070, any amount can be donated via text.

To follow the event online please see Jack's website www.HitTheRoadJack.co.uk and follow him on twitter @HitTheRoadJP
