<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">A few of us, friends from school and 50 this year, decided to celebrate this milestone with a fundraising trek up Kilimanjaro at the end of August. After all, we thought, how hard can it be? </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The answer is HARD! But as one bright spark said "The harder the challenge; the more money we'll raise". Here's hoping!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa, (and at 5,895m the highest free standing mountain in the world), and we are attempting the toughest route.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">However, we’re undertaking this escapade for a very special reason. One of our party is the father of Theo, a fantastic little boy, who was born with Down syndrome. All of us involved in the climb are raising funds for "Down Syndrome Extra 21", a charity that provides much needed help and support for those with Down syndrome and their families. As a party, we’re hoping to raise £10,000, which will make a huge difference.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Every penny contributed will go to the charity as we’re paying for everything ourselves, including putting ourselves back together again…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I hope that you will be able to dig deep and support us in such a worthwhile cause.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Thank you</span></p>
