So this year I have decided to do something special in preparation. I will be walking the length of Hadrian's walk from the North Sea to the Irish Sea with my dad on a camping trip that will take a whole week!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">I have learned that Hadrian was one of the greatest enemies of the Jewish people&nbsp;and that's why my dad&nbsp;said&nbsp;it would be a good thing for us to walk along his wall and raise money for a Jewish charity&nbsp;as a way of showing&nbsp;that he could not stop us being Jews like he tried to do.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">I wanted to support the Jewish Blind and Disabled charity because I think it is a great cause as it gives blind and disabled people their own place to live and&nbsp; help with living a life like everybody else.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">I think it must be very difficult being blind or disabled, as many of the things I can easily do, like going for a walk, playing games in the garden or just running about with my friends are much harder to do for them. &nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">I also have a friend at school who is disabled and I always feel disappointed that he cannot always join in with us all the time.</span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Hopefully my charity raising will help a little bit</span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">So please dig deep as you can and donate now.</span></span></p> <p><span style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Lots of love</span></span></p> <p><span style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Ethan</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
