<p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;">Hey folks, </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;"><br /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;">About a month or so ago, a guy at work was looking at getting a group of people together to climb Snowdon in Wales so I was like "Yeah that sounds like fun" and signed up to go. Then I found out that Snowdon was the highest peak in Wales and me being the size I am would most likely kill me and thought strongly about backing out. Now you may think, well Snowdon isn’t that big. I did it and it was like a walk in the park. Well, to that I say...has anyone seen me recently? The most exercise I get is walking to work and rarely do a walk longer than about 45 minutes. So for me to decide to climb a mountain is a pretty big deal. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;">So a friend of mine said that it would be an idea for me to do it for charity. Because then I wouldn’t be able to back out of it without good reason. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;">So I chose Macmillan because they do great work. My Sister in Law's Dad died of Cancer just over a year ago and before he died he spent time with Macmillan. They Helped him day and night and it was all for free. It enabled him to stay alive a little bit longer and helped him to be comfortable when the time came. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;">But this is just one story among thousands. They help people every day and I want help them to continue this great work they do. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black;"><br /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">My goal is just a number I picked out of thin air, I didn’t want it to be too much but at the same time I wanted it be an amount that would be an achievement. </span></p>
