We are going over 1500km on the ice. We are going to be potentially -60&deg;C cold. We are going in as pioneers. We are Guinea-Pigs. We are team Guinea-Pig.&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.5pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">It is going to be cold. It is going to be tough.&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.5pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Mark and I are going to Siberia to ride motorbikes on the frozen rivers to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.&nbsp;&nbsp;We all know people that are suffering from this disease so please give what you can to help.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.2pt; line-height: 14.25pt; background: white;"><span style="font-size: 12.5pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">There are over 2 million people living with cancer in the UK, but Macmillan are currently only able to reach half of them. It's their ambition&nbsp;to reach everyone living with cancer and they can only do this with the help of people like you. In fact, they rely on voluntary donations for 99% of their income, so they really do appreciate your support.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.2pt; line-height: 14.25pt; background: white;"><span style="font-size: 12.5pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Gifts like yours mean that Macmillan will be able to provide not only medical, but practical, emotional and financial&nbsp;support&nbsp;as well as&nbsp;information&nbsp;to people living with cancer, their carers and families. And Macmillan will also make sure that they listen to people with experience of cancer and work together with them to&nbsp;improve cancer care.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.5pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.5pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Please dig deep and donate now.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 8.0pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
