Story

<p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black;">Hi everyone,</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black;">I first began supporting Mercy Ships last year. In a nutshell they provide large ships/vessels and resources to doctors who are prepared to give up their own time to provide basic medical care to those who don&rsquo;t have it.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black;">Having worked extensively in Africa over the last two years I have come to realise the importance of their work and the difference they make to people's lives. A little money goes an extremely long way to giving countless people basic medical care through what I describe as floating hospitals. For further information visit</span><span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: #009933;">&nbsp;<a href="http://www.mercyships.org.uk">www.mercyships.org.uk</a></span></span></p> <p><span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;">Thanks for your support. Those of you who know me well will know how competitive I am about these things, so here&rsquo;s hoping I can give up the Glenfiddich for a few weeks to boost my final time!</span></span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black;"></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; color: black;">I look forward to carrying Ben Hathaway over the line who I am pleased to say is also running for Mercy Ships.</span></p> </p>
