Welcome. This is the charity part of my <a href="mailto:40@40">40@40</a>.  As you may or may not be aware I have asked 40 'friends' to each set me a challenge to complete within the year.  The only constraints were that: <span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">- It cannot be illegal. - It cannot result in me permanently changing my physical appearance. - It cannot cost more than £100. <span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">As a result of this I have been challenged to complete a Half Iron Man, to complete the 5 peaks within 48 hours and to organise a group of individuals and raise £1000 for the charity of my choice.  Which is why you are here. <span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">I am combining these challenges to raise money for the Dave Thorne Bursary (Part of the Oxfordshire Outdoor Learning Trust).  I was lucky enough to know Dave as he was an instructor at the Outdoor Education Centre we take the school children to every year.  Dave died in a tragic accident in 2007 and in a fitting tribute to a man who loved the outdoors the Dave Throne Bursary was established to provide money that would enable less privileged children attend residential trips to enjoy the outdoor life.  <span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The link will provide you with extra information. <span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><a href="http://www.woodlandsoec.org/page/index/Dave-Thorne-Bursary">http://www.woodlandsoec.org/page/index/Dave-Thorne-Bursary</a> <span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">This is a very important charity to me and I would be very grateful if you could spare any money to help me achieve my target.  <span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">It's almost impossible to say just how much the children benefit from these residential trips but having seen firsthand individuals overcoming fears, making new friends and growing in confidence I can guarantee you it is money well spent. Thank you in advance. <span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Toby   Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
