The 2013 Doolist.com challenge is simple. I am going to try and complete 13 challenges in 2013 to try and raise £13k for the Motor Neurone Disease Association. The final challenge in December 2013, is going to be 13 marathons in 13 consecutive days from Newcastle to Nelson's Column, London

My wife is called Danielle, and she lost her mum Linda, to MND. The MNDA do a great job in trying to find a cure and is run completely by volunteers.

I am personally paying for all entry costs / accommodation / travel etc so 100% of your contributions will go to helping the MNDA. You can see all my challenge photos, videos and reviews here: http://www.doolist.com/people/dave/
