What you have undertaken, which falls under the category of a conditional vow, is disliked (makrooh), but fulfilling it becomes obligatory if the condition is met. You must continue to fulfill it as long as you are able, and the reward for fulfilling a vow after it has been established is greater than the reward for charity.
