Jacob's Marathon
Fundraising for prader willi syndrome because so we can raise money for research and medicine that will help us
Wellington
Hello my name is called Jacob and i have prader willi syndrome. I am thirteen years old and I go to Raumati south school. we live at the kapiti coast in Raumati south. I am looking forward to going to college next year. I am doing the 42 km run in the virtual marathon because so I can help others that need it that can't live by their self. When I am older I want to be a chef and become another one of the best chef in the world. I always wanted to go on mastercheif. That's one of my hardest moments that i will put up with all my life. So that's why i would like you to try to sponsor me for doing a marathon please

Jacob has challenged himself to run(!) 42km by the end of May in the PWSA(NZ) Virtual Marathon - with perhaps some walking ;) PWS is a complex disorder causing a range of disabilities: physical, intellectual and behavioural, but several new drugs in trial phases show promise of creating a better future for people with PWS.
