John Boileau

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Boileau is the owner and creator of the internet site www.beforethirty.co.uk. [1]. The site contains a list of 77 things that John wants to achieve before turning 30 years old. In June 2006 the website received hundreds of thousands of visitors due to a very popular e-mail forward which detailed John's application to be the Manager at English Premier Football Club Middlesbrough FC. The club returned an amusing, tongue-in-cheek letter stating that John was indeed the outstanding candidate for the club but they didn't want to lose him to a European club in the near future.

The application and website has been featured on the BBC [2]and in national newspapers.

John has since dedicated the site to the Breast Cancer Care Charity and has raised over £1000. [3].
