Thousands are still missing and many more living in the affected areas are in desperate need of help, having lost everything in the disaster.</span></strong><br /><br /><span><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">TONI&GUY have 20 salons in Japan and they collecting money to support the relief efforts of the <strong>Japanese Red Cross</strong>. </span></span><strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">TONI&GUY Charitable Foundation</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> would like to lend our support to our Japanese colleagues by raising funds specifically for this cause.</span><span style="color: black;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">All funds raised through this appeal will be donated to the </span><strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">British Red Cross</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> which is working with the </span><strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Japanese Red Cross</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">.</span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> <br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The </span><strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Japanese Red Cross</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: black; font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> has been working on the ground since the disaster began, mobilising hundreds of doctors, nurses and support staff.
