Hiking for 8 days (from Feb 2<sup>nd</sup> 2011) sometimes for 14 hours in temperatures ranging from -20 to +20⁰C over rough terrain &ndash; to reach a final altitude of 19,340ft (exactly 2/3rds the height of Everest) &ndash; we will need some motivation!!&nbsp; So to help us, we would love to have your support by making a donation to our chosen charity Action for Children ("AFC").&nbsp; AFC provides complete care and support for deprived and neglected children in the UK. &nbsp;They have launched a three year appeal to make the UK "wake up to neglect".<strong><span style="font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-weight: normal;">&nbsp; </span></strong>If you would like to know more about the charity&rsquo;s current campaign then click on the link below.&nbsp; Wish us luck!&nbsp; </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%; color: #ff00ff; font-size: 14pt;">Thank you in advance for your support.&nbsp; </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 115%; color: #ff00ff; font-size: 14pt;">Sarah and Alison xx</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: normal;">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: fuchsia; font-size: 12pt;">AFC are campaigning<strong> </strong>to improve the way child neglect is tackled by highlighting the importance of early intervention so that families with emerging problems can avoid these becoming long term issues.&nbsp; &nbsp;AFC are raising desperately needed money to develop targeted, effective initiatives that tackle the key causes of neglect. &nbsp;AFC work with thousands of vulnerable families already but there are many more families out there who need their help.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp; <span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.actionforchildren.org.uk/content/738/Our-action">www.actionforchildren.org.uk/content/738/Our-action</a> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="color: fuchsia; font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: fuchsia; font-size: 12pt;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
