<p class="first" style="margin: auto 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">A message from Mo Whittaker</span></span></p>
<p class="first" style="margin: auto 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">I have committed to join a group from the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors on their Inca Trail Challenge to discover Machu Picchu in walking boots rather than ‘high heels’!. </span></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">This is not a trip for the faint hearted - it is a challenging trek on steep trails climbing to 4200m in diverse mountainous country with the major problem of altitude.</span></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">The 20 walkers will leave the UK on 26<sup>th</sup> March and will be raising money for 3 charities including The Christie which is my chosen charity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was with this in mind that inspired me to join the group.</span></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">I know I’m one of many whose families and friends have been affected by Cancer; close to home – both of my parents died from cancer and latterly, my brother Geoff.</span></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">As most of you know, I have joined the board of Verte Limited and I am enjoying a different challenge - raising the profile of a newly established company.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Verte’s MD is well known to many of you in the construction world and is testiment to the wonderful treatment Dave received at The Christie following a long, painful and life threatening illness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now fighting fit and leaving me to do all the talking (no jokes please!), our new business has taken off with a bang. Verte will be sponsoring me in many ways – one which will be announced shortly – an open mike night to be held in early February. </span></span></p>
