Story

<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: red; font-size: 10pt;">As some of you know my brother Robert has a condition called </span><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt;">H</span><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">ypertrophic cardiomyopathy&nbsp;</span></span></span></span><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: red; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt;"> which is a condition that swells or hardens a portion of the heart and can mean an uncertain future.&nbsp;We also lost my Mother to the condition when she was only 35 and so I am primarily raising money in memory of my&nbsp;Mother and in supporting research into this condition with the Cardiomyopathy association.&nbsp;</span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: red; font-size: 10pt;">I've always tried to keep fit, well I'm now taking this to a whole new level and have already begun my training for my first Iron Man event which is&nbsp;my first triathlon&nbsp;on <strong><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">19th&nbsp;June 2011</span></strong>.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: red; font-size: 10pt;">I decided that I'd be more motivated to complete the 1.2mile swim, 56mile bike ride and 13mile run if I had a charity to support. I'm raising money for the Cardiomyopathy Association which supports familes and research into this genetic condition that has affected me and my family.
