Josh Ralph from Salisbury North Football Club has been living with depression for over a year now, and to raise awareness for others affected by depression, he has decided to run 7 marathons in 7 days.
Please get behind him and such a great cause by visiting http://www.mycause.com.au/page/65115. Any donations, large or small, would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Politicians kissing babies for good luck,

You don't need no golden cross to tell you wrong from right,
The world's worst murderers were those who saw the light.

Just seen on Facebook. He has completed 4 marathons in a row. Will he do all 7? Surely his body is screaming for a rest. Knees, shins. Get around him.

Today was a struggle for him, understandably, and he finished with a time of around 7 hours.
It's up to us to keep his spirits up, as he's doing something most of us haven't got the balls to do.

I hope he's getting plenty of recovery in between runs.
Don't play games with a girl who can play 'em better...

I know he's getting daily physio and massages, but due to the nature of the challenge, I suspect that it's nowhere near enough recovery.
I think he's earned as much recovery as he wants, once tomorrow and Saturday's grand finale are out of the way. 5 marathons in 5 days thus far is a superhuman effort.
To those who are interested, the 7th and final leg will be held at Salisbury North Football club on Saturday (February 22nd) from about 8:30am. The more people who come out and cheer Josh on, the merrier.

There was a decent crowd there, and I'm sure plenty more money was raised through raffles, lucky squares, drink sales and a kickarse barbie.
To top it all, Josh is a great bloke, and none of this attention seems to have gone to his head. He's genuinely doing it for the right reasons.
