<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;" lang="EN-GB">To my dear friends and family!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;" lang="EN-GB">As part of my gap year, I am fund raising for WDCS (Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society).&nbsp; End of this month, I will &nbsp;be participating in a two-week, very difficult, steep and challenging trek in Nepal to reach to Everest Base Camp (5500m high).&nbsp;&nbsp; This involves an average of 8 hours trek every day, having to climb up steep ascents; &nbsp;which demand a great deal of energy, discipline and endurance.&nbsp; I have been training hard for several months now, with a lot of determination, as I know it is for a very worthy cause. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Since I was very young<span style="color: #1f497d;">, </span>I have been<span style="color: #1f497d;"> </span>deeply saddened that certain species of whales and dolphins are rapidly becoming extinct; and also all the harm and cruelty they are undergoing constantly (please refer to<span style="color: #1f497d;"> </span><a href="http://www.wdcs.org/stop/captivity/index.php">http://www.wdcs.org/stop/captivity/index.php</a><span style="color: #1f497d;">). </span>I sincerely believe that we<span style="color: #1f497d;"> </span>need charity organisations like WDCS to help to conserve them. &nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I hope you will support me in my life-long passion to help save the precious Whales and Dolphins of the world!!&nbsp; Any<span style="color: #1f497d;"> </span>small amount you could donate would be greatly appreciated by myself and the whales and dolphins.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">THANK YOU VERY MUCH.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;" lang="EN-GB">Lots of love,</span></p> <p>Chelsea x x</p>
