<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Hi all,</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Thanks for coming to this page to sponsor me. I'll be cycling 114 miles&nbsp;from&nbsp;Hackney to Dunwich -&nbsp;through the night! Given that I can barely stay awake after&nbsp;the moderate exertion of eating&nbsp;lunch, this should be quite a challenge! </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">I am embarking on this madness in the hope of raising as much money as possible for Expand, a development&nbsp;charity&nbsp;that aims to relieve poverty in developing&nbsp;countries, primarily&nbsp;through education.&nbsp;Having&nbsp;been lucky enough to spend some time helping on their first&nbsp;project&nbsp;(building a school in Malawi),&nbsp;I have witnessed first-hand the truly wonderful work&nbsp;that they do and the difference it can make to whole communities. For more information on Expand, please visit their website: <a href="http://www.xpand.org.uk/index.html"><span style="color: #800080;">http://www.xpand.org.uk/index.html</span></a> </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Educational empowerment really does change lives for the better, so please dig deep and donate now.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Many thanks!</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Brendan </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 140%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; background: white; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="line-height: 140%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #1c1c1c; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">P.S. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
