<p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hi everyone,</span></p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my fundraising page!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As you may know, I am currently working on GVI&rsquo;s community projects with disadvantaged children within townships surrounding Cape Town. On Wednesday 16&nbsp;November I am going to be taking part in an amazing challenge to raise funds for the projects.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The larger challenge is to complete 350km in 5 days without any motorised transport. For a select bunch of fitness fanatics, this is the task ahead of them.&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I am going to join in&nbsp;with the final day on which we will be walking 25km from Fish Hoek to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and then climbing to the top of Table Mountain. The whole day will take about eight or nine hours and so will quite an intense day.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: small;">The money we will all be raising is to build a new classroom at one of our project sites, create a grade R classroom and buy special needs resources.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">It would be great if you would be able to donate anything that you would like to to help us raise funds and help the wonderful children that we work with. Anything would be really appreciated. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;">If you have any questions or would like more information about what I am doing over here, please get in touch.</p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;">Thank you!</p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;">Mel<span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">For specific details of the larger challenge and the causes, please visit the main GVI team fundraising page:</span></p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="http://www.justgiving.com/teams/gvi-ct-challenge">http://www.justgiving.com/teams/gvi-ct-challenge</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
