Story

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">So the heat is on&hellip;! I&rsquo;m only five months in to my new role and the team have already persuaded me to walk over hot coals on 11 February and join other brave &ldquo;soles&rdquo; in raising money for Winston&rsquo;s Wish! I was a little hesitant at first but after speaking with families at our annual Christmas gathering and hearing about the challenges they are facing, I thought this would be an ideal way for me to raise funds to allow Winston&rsquo;s Wish to help even more bereaved children and young people.</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I am sure that many of you have heard already that 2012 is the 20 anniversary year for Winston&rsquo;s Wish; we are hoping to raise &pound;20,000 from this event and to help us achieve that I really need your sponsorship. I&rsquo;m all fired up (pardon the pun!) and raring to go so your kind donation will keep me motivated on the day.</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">If on the other hand reading this has inspired you to join me and the rest of the team.
