<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">After participating in <strong>10 International Charity Cycle rides</strong>, it seems we just cannot stop.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">So we have decided this year to take on one of the most difficult challenges we have ever tried, by cycling approximately<strong> 400 miles </strong>in 5 days from the Lebanese/Israeli border in the north, to the most southerly border of Israel and Egypt. Along the way, we stop to view sights important to Christians, Jews and Muslims.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> </span></p>
