Former rugby player plans 200 marathons in 100 days across Dorset

David “Jacko” Jackson is embarking on a world-record ultra-endurance challenge called Mission IN-possible, aiming to raise £1 million for brain injury charities. Starting May 29, a day after his 44th birthday, he will run two marathons daily for 100 days, covering 8,452 km across 25 UK locations, including four days in Bournemouth. His journey symbolizes resilience, inspired by his own recovery from a traumatic seizure that ended his rugby career in 2013. Jackson emphasizes community involvement in his runs, urging supporters to join him in their own personal challenges. He is also the author of “Breathe Smarter, Run Stronger.”
