Our Participation in the East African Rally is a key part of the Group&rsquo;s fundraising campaign, and so <strong>we need YOUR help to get there</strong>! Alive &amp; Kicking strives to help children exercise their right to play, to create employment for communities in Africa and to help raise awareness of preventable disease. Alive &amp; Kicking establishes small workshops in African communities to hand-stitch footballs using local leather in both Kenya and Zambia. Each ball carries vital health messages concerning the preventable spread of Malaria, TB or HIV/AIDS and these balls are distributed to schools, orphanages and refugee camps across the nation.</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">&nbsp;</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">For an information pack on this challenge, please contact the Group on: 01454 634153.</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">&nbsp;</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Thank you for your support.</span></span></span></p> <p><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">Arron Banks</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">Director</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">Brightside Group plc</p> </span></p> </span></span> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </p>
