Story

<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Hello everyone. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">As you all know, I idolise the rock star Bono, from the popular Irish band U2, of 'Achtung Baby' fame. And so,&nbsp;like my hero, I have decided to write a musical about Spiderman. Sorry,&nbsp;I mean I have decided to do my bit for charity. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11.5pt;">I&rsquo;ll be running 10 whole kilometres on 2nd July to raise money for the Albert Kennedy Trust, who provide shelter and care for LGBT kids who have been kicked out of their homes and left to live on the streets where they are often abused and molested. Please help me support this charity by giving me some dough to run this race. Also, for those of you who might feel that my Ethiopian physique makes running 10K an absolute cinch, I will add that I:</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11.5pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1)<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></span><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11.5pt;">Am going to try and actually WIN the race. If I win, I expect everybody to add 20% of their original donation. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11.5pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11.5pt;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">2)<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></span><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11.5pt;">Will also, if I receive a TON of money, go on a 24 hour period of utter silence (for example from Friday teatime to Saturday teatime). Everyone who knows me knows that I really love speaking; this would be a huge challenge.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11.5pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11.5pt;">Peace, </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11.5pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11.5pt;">Caspar </span></p>
