<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 140%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; background: white;"><span style="line-height: 140%; font-family: &#39;Arial&#39;, &#39;sans-serif&#39;; color: #1c1c1c; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">On November 5th, along with 5 others I will be heading off to cycle Death Valley for Autism NI. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 140%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; background: white;"><span style="line-height: 140%; font-family: &#39;Arial&#39;, &#39;sans-serif&#39;; color: #1c1c1c; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The challenge starts at Beatty Junction, Las Vegas, about 100miles from the centre of the city. Over 5 days, we will cycle through California and Nevada, encountering altitudes ranging from sea level to 5500ft, and through dramatic rocks and shimmering dunes of America&rsquo;s largest national park, before cycling into the lights of Las Vegas covering approximately 450 kilometres in ridiculous heat. This is going to be tough physically and mentally!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 140%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; background: white;"><span style="line-height: 140%; font-family: &#39;Arial&#39;, &#39;sans-serif&#39;; color: #1c1c1c; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 140%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; background: white;"><span style="line-height: 140%; font-family: &#39;Arial&#39;, &#39;sans-serif&#39;; color: #1c1c1c; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">This will be the toughest challenge I have faced to date&nbsp;and a massive amount&nbsp;of hard work has been put into&nbsp;the fundraising and training for this. Now its only a few weeks away I'd really appreciate a last push on helping me to reach my fundraising targets so whatever you can donate would be very much appreciated!! :) </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 140%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; background: white;"><span style="line-height: 140%; font-family: &#39;Arial&#39;, &#39;sans-serif&#39;; color: #1c1c1c; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 140%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; background: white;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
