<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Arial&amp;amp;quot;,&amp;amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;amp;quot;;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">I am teaming up with Alan Osbiston for the London Marathon and attempting to run it in 3 hours 30 minutes!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Arial&amp;amp;quot;,&amp;amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;amp;quot;;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">I am raising money for CAFOD's Lent Appeal which focuses on the gift of water. Without clean water, people&rsquo;s lives are in constant danger. Drinking dirty water can be deadly and the daily search for this precious resource wastes countless lives. Every 20 seconds a child dies from drinking dirty water.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Arial&amp;amp;quot;,&amp;amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;amp;quot;;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Right now, we have a short window of opportunity to save even more lives and help even more families because CAFOD has been awarded UK Aid Match funding. This means that the Government will match pound-for-pound every gift you send in response to this Lent Appeal. (www.cafod.org.uk/lentmatch)</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Arial&amp;amp;quot;,&amp;amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;amp;quot;;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Arial&amp;amp;quot;,&amp;amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;amp;quot;;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">So please dig deep and donate now.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Arial&amp;amp;quot;,&amp;amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;amp;quot;;">Thanks</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Arial&amp;amp;quot;,&amp;amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;amp;quot;;">Chris</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
