There's some discussion here about her going downhill for 6 months and needing all sorts of disability aids and then a few months later starting running and of course signing up for a marathon with associated fundraiser etc.
Jack Monroe #238 Honestly, they're like two stupid pigeons fighting over a discarded doughnut
If Jack was a true poverty campaigner she would be promoting Community Shops. I use one, not due to cost but to prevent food waste. I've set out some of my items in Jack style in the pic. Membership is £5, each shop is £3. You can go 3 times per week. They also offer cooking classes, debt...tattle.life
It doesn’t even look like she entered it. Typically, someone who has entered but did not start the race would show as a DNS (did not start) on the results page. Oh, look.
Is that…Dennis Nilsson?
Calculator watch AND apple watch, absolute throbber

I’d love to see her pacing the bungalow trying to complete the bleeping circles.
Anyone who actually cares about fitness watches knows that the battery life on the early ones is tit. She’d be charging that thing every night. So much for using solar lights. Looking forward to catching a glimpse of the new Apple watch Ultra very soon

Aw the two industry plants hanging out together

Another thing on the long list of things Jack has started and not finished. She’s unbelievable.
Off topic I was up most of the night with an extremely painful shoulder (no idea what I’ve done to it) so decided to get stuck in to the Alice Evans threads. What a ride. And wow, the narc similarities to Jack are strong.
Did Jack get the £297 from the marathon? Or do you lose everything if you don't hit target? It would have nicely funded the donation to foodbank after Trussell.
Am I right in saying she planned to run the marathon after the various heart issues and on her blog, TD called her out for it at the time?
1.30 on - "I tried to sing on stage...[mumble mumble faux embarrassment]....was invited to sing on stage with Billy Bragg at Glastonbury [humblebrag smirk]......I cocked up one of the biggest opportunities I have ever had in my life.....now I'm not expecting to ever do this for a living......Louis Walsh Pride of Britain humblebrag....grow as a human being cringiness"The opening line kills me every damn time!
“Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday!”
How is singing with Billy Bragg your biggest opportunity when your "career" is as a poverty campaigner? She is so angling to be "discovered" in this vid.
Let me tell you about the time I had to SELL MY PIANO to buy food for me and my starving child.
Said no pov ever.
Signed someone who grew up with a piano in the house, would love a piano if my house was big enough, doesn’t pretend to be working class.
She won’t have got the money. I imagine it would have gone to Mind (or been refunded to the people who donated if she never ran it).
To be fair to Jack, entering a marathon when (at the time) she had only run a few miles is a big deal and would have required lots from her. Lots of people give up on marathons they have entered or claim they have entered when they have easily run a few 5k or 10ks.
Patreon/remaining Teemill money is a big deal. Jack not running a marathon isn’t.
The money goes straight to the charity and never touches the fundraiser's bank account (source: I've done a fair few fundraising events using JustGiving and various other online sponsorship sites).
Depending on the event you usually have an entry fee to pay out of your own pocket, then a minimum amount to fundraise. If you pull out before the event starts, none of it is refundable, although you may be able to transfer your entry to another person or a different event.
Agreed.
The marathon thing is just funny because it exposes the lie of how awful her arthritis was, how she was walking on crutches and dragging herself up the stairs, Tinder dates recoiled in horror etc.
Jack has always been motivated primarily by attention-seeking.
SHAN'T be watching that one.
Also, #Jackmaths
And no, I don’t think “we’ve” established that at all
‘I once lived entirely on tins of food’
BBC Food explores the issues that matter to you through our no-nonsense articles: from myth-busting and explaining health and nutrition to saving time and money in the kitchen with easy-win recipes.

Unless she meant to say “stealing food and tin openers to survive”

BIB agree but (and bearing in mind it's early) I think it helps to establish a pattern or methodology to the grifting. I really think Jack's lightbulb moment was when she raised over £1000 for one night of the sleep rough challenge, the way she wrote about it just made me think oh this is where she realised there was mega £££ to it. So run a few justgiving/gofundmes for charity and then pivot it to her own causes using platforms where there's less or (in reality) no accountability i.e. book publishing crowdfunder, "sponsoring" books for charity, tip jar/paypal slush fund, patreon, unfinished projects etc. At a certain point here's enough momentum to validate "she's done so much for others, let's do something for her" and watch the £££ roll in.
Certainly teaching you all to suck eggs here and not my intention, just trying to understand HOW she ended up in this position.
I think I'm going to enquire with justgiving/MIND to see if they received that money in 2017.
ETA and just being realistic there may never be a satisfactory resolution to the patreon/teemill issues so I don't think it's a good idea to just focus on them and disregard other smaller or currently unknown (tying into what @BurgerLaBill said) impropriety.
