<p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">Michael and I have been in training for the past 9 months for the Berlin Marathon in September (some more effectively than others!). 26 miles of marathon with the aim of raising £2,000 for Step by Step School.</span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">As you may not be aware, Step by Step is a small independent day school for children with autism. We provide specialised teaching for pupils aged 4 to 16 who are diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum. We help pupils develop the skills, understanding and confidence to reach their full potential and, as far as possible, lead full and independent lives. </span></span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;"> </span></p>

<p><span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;">All donations are extremely appreciated; we’re not running for a big, well-known charity, but this makes any donation even more vital. We hope to be able to raise enough to assist with the development of a very much needed new playground for the children.</span></span><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black;"> </span></p>
