<p>Over the next couple of weeks I'll be trying to cycle a 1000 mile route from Land's End to John O' Groats. I'm using this to provide me with the excuse to let you know of the Mid Antrim Animal Sanctuary's rebuilding project appeal.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Since opening in a few farm outbuildings in 1996, Mid-Antrim Animal Sanctuary has cared for thousands of Northern Ireland&rsquo;s least fortunate cats and dogs and has worked hard to find them new, loving homes.&nbsp;&nbsp;But the time has now come where its premises are no longer fit for purpose.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">So, please consider making a small contribution to their &pound;600,000 rebuild project. This will vastly improve the comfort of the 100-plus residents in their care.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">All money donated will go to the Animal Sanctuary, the bike trip is completely self-financed.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Many thanks</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Richard</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: black; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
