<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Hi</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">On May 11th & 12th 2012, i will be kayaking the 3 largest lakes in England, Ullswater 11.9k, Coniston 8.6km and Windermere 17.2km.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">I will start on Saturday and do the smaller two, ( this is not width ways, it is length ways!!!) Completing the challenge on Sunday with the largest one. Yes I am a little mad!!!</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">I have never kayaked before and am hoping to get some time on the water before i go.... At least so i can learn how to fall out safely. </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">In total we need to raise as much as possible if we are to be able to send young people <span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">from across the West Kent YMCA, to engage in a volunteer opportunity to work with the American Peace Corps and run a Summer Camp for the young men of Macedonia,</span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(aged 13 – 19) in Macedonia.</span></span></span></strong></p>
