<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="color: #365f91; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themeshade: 191;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The charity is very close to our hearts, as Maria’s Mum, who has been bravely battling with cancer for a number of years, attends the <strong>Macmillan Unit Day Centre </strong>at the hospital regularly and is very well looked after by them.</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="color: #365f91; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themeshade: 191;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The challenge will take place in December in Northern India: up to 120 kilometres a day for 6 consecutive days in hot, humid & dusty conditions on pot-holed poorly maintained roads in some of the more remote areas of the country. We’re not looking forward to the saddle-sores!<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;"></span></span></p>

Anything you can donate would be very gratefully received.</span></span></p>
