500for500 - 8 marathons for ME/CFS in 2025
Jack Hewitt had never heard of ME/CFS until his best friend Freddie became severely ill. To raise awareness of our condition Jack is running in 8 marathons this year, in every state and territory of Australia.
Next Marathon: Canberra 16 November
In Stromlo Forest Park, Canberra, Jack will run his eight and final marathon for 2025.
He has done an incredible job of running a marathon in every state and territory this year. When he first approached us with this idea to raise awareness for ME/CFS we were amazed by his ambitious target. We are even more amazed that he will soon achieve it!
Thank you Jack, from everyone in our community.
