Run Johnny Run

Ok, I ran a marathon last year, great achievement, well done etc.etc. but this guy is running 50 of them over the next 50 months.

I heard him on the Ian Dempsey breakfast show on Today FM radio station, he is a ex-member of the band the SawDoctors and has a few marathons under his belt already. Quite an inspiring story about his son becoming ill and being close to death so he wants to change things for other people in unfortunate circumstances by giving them MicroCredit of say €20 to buy seeds or equipment. They have to pay back the loan but with no loan shark rates.

Nice site too. Fair play
