<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This year young people from Surrey are about to being the preparetions for the challenge. </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;">As always the young people participating need and deserve as much </span><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">support and encouragement</strong><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt;"> as their community can muster. The event not only challenges their physical endurance but also their mental endurance.

By donating just a small amount you can help to ensure that this event continues in the future, providing more young people with a chance to develop and challenge themselves.</span></p>
