WHAT:

+ 1000+ MILES OF PARKOUR TO PARIS.
+ OVERCOMING EVERY PHYSICAL AND MENTAL OBSTACLE IN MY PATH.
+ FROM THE MOST NORTHERN PART OF THE BRITISH ISLES TO PARIS, THE ORIGINAL BIRTH PLACE OF PARKOUR.

WHEN: Late Feb / As long as it takes.

Cheyo!

My name is Johnny Budden. Others know me as Sticky.

I am not really into this 'describing myself' shizzam but here goes: Around the age of 15 I reached county level at 3 different sports, and it was then that I made the decision to follow my heart.
Seven and a half years on, I think I can say I have played a part of bringing Parkour to it's global consciousness.

I have always lived for pushing myself both mentally and physically, working and playing hard, whether it be facing Times Square in a 'mankini' in winter, or getting 'paint-balled' naked by a group of people. For the last 7 years of doing Parkour I have felt myself becoming stronger and much more able, learning more about myself, my doubts, what scares me, my potential, and what drives me. I have come to learn that nothing is impossible if you can just imagine it. This journey is less about demonstrating the discipline of Parkour, and more about testing my way of tackling obstacles and doing what I need to do in order to learn from it.

I will travel purely using my body. This will primarily involve great distances of endurance running on a daily basis in between cities (something like a marathon a day), and a hell of a lot of Parkour movements to negotiate through each city. Parkour is about getting from point A to point B as fluidly and efficiently as possible, so I will be getting over every obstacle I can as efficiently as I can, this will be down to my own creativity. I will be testing muscle fatigue, sleep deprivation, and my mental state. Apart from rest...I wont stop till I get to Paris.

Practicing parkour is to chase fear on a daily basis, to confront it head-on, to face it naked and alone. In parkour, you are stripped to your essence. There is no equipment to rely on, no safety harnesses or padding to protect you, no teammate to take the brunt when you are tired. Its you, and you alone

In this way, Parkour and suffering from Motor Neurone Disease are ultimately linked, by the determination of overcoming obstacles, often alone. The Charity is one that I have spent along time learning about and feeling the need to help it in some way.

I honestly feel like with the help from all my friends, family and people within the Parkour community I have met over the years, I can help make a difference. I think its so important to seize the moment and express myself while I feel it, whilst bringing awareness and raising money for Motor Neurone Disease, an extremely serious cause.
You can learn more about Motor Neurone Disease by clicking the charitys logo on this page.

It may seem a bit mad, but remember, one mans pain is the next mans pleasure. Don't forget, you can also leave a request when you make a donation, to where your mums pants, to listen to a certain tune, to tweet something, it can be anything, but you have to donate in order to make a request, and I'll ultimately try my hardest to complete each request!

Please do your bit, find the time and give a little. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.


So please dig deep and donate now. You alone, are enough to make a massive difference!

Much loves

wow really an inspirational video. i love what you said about the two types of athletes

[asborn]

Possibly the best charity cause ever man... so epic! There need to be more Stickies acting in this way for the whole world to be a better place.

If everyone did something, even a 100th of the scale of this , think of what could be achieved.. such a community in parkour , even those numbers could make a HUGE dent on some issues..

Props, least the lazier guys can sit at home whilst you go through hell, and donate lots of monies ;) :D
