Story

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">I am looking to complete the National 3 Peaks Challenge on 11<sup>th</sup> June this year; this involves climbing the highest mountains in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scafell Pike) and Wales (Snowdon) in less than 24 hours, this is a total of 26 miles of walking with a total ascent of 9770ft or 2905 metres, there is also over 500 miles of driving to be done between the mountains. A team has been organised of 9 walkers and a driving crew of 5, with the cars kindly provided by Sturgess Land Rover Leicester.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>The challenge now is to raise as much money as possible for our chosen charity which is Wishes 4 Kids, this is a Midlands based charity granting wishes to children who have either suffered a life limiting illness or have experienced physical or mental abuse. I am looking for sponsorship to help the charity to keep granting wishes to children that are less fortunate than most. I have had personal experience of the work the charity do when my eldest niece was diagnosed with a brain tumour 4 years ago. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Russell at Wishes 4 Kids organised an amazing 2 day dream trip to London which you can read about in the 3<sup>rd</sup> newsletter on the web site </span><a href="http://www.wishes4kids.co.uk/"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">www.wishes4kids.co.uk</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> , the charity has also been awarded the children&rsquo;s champion medical award for the wishes they grant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>This charity helps kids just be kids, if just for one day, with their wonderful work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Your support is greatly appreciated </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ben Wolf</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
