As the challenge approaches I know I haven&rsquo;t done enough&hellip;No amount of Lycra (why did I not know of this wonderful material prior to my 46th year?) or the charmingly named "Aussie Butt cream" will protect me!</span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Gill Sans MT&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Gill Sans MT&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11pt;">800 miles in ten days; It&rsquo;s going to be tough and very painful.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Gill Sans MT&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Gill Sans MT&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11pt;">All donations, big and small &ndash; gratefully received.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Gill Sans MT&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Gill Sans MT&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Thanks </span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Gill Sans MT&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: &quot;Gill Sans MT&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Tom</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
