Story

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hi, thanks for visiting my page!..... <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>I was lucky enough to yesterday (Thursday 9<sup>th</sup> August) receive a phone call to say I had been bought in as a late reserve for a charity cycle trip I had applied for which leaves on Tuesday 8<sup>th</sup> September..... </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It was a really good idea, as it was all in aid of the <span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Leukaemia &amp; Lymphoma Research Charity.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The sponsored cycle trip is to go over the Himalayas, through Tibet and Nepal, via the Everest North Face Base Camp. At the highest point, we will be at an altitude of 5,253m. <span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">This Epic trip will be taking myself and 20 others 18 days to complete, going right&nbsp;through to 25<sup>th</sup> September when we arrive home...</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Because this is a late, last minute thing it is all a bit daunting, and I have very limited time to prepare. But as a keen cyclist, I am relishing this challenge, and feel more than willing to give it my all to complete it also!... </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; background: white; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 2;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">So if you can spare a pound or two to sponsor me, that would be absolutely great!... It really is very easy, and quite straight forward, and all the monies go direct to the charity <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>&ndash; all you need is either a Debit / Credit card or even a PayPal account - and it will take less than 2-3 minutes.. Nice and Easy!!.... And you can also give from &pound;1 upwards &ndash; so very flexible also ( Please click on gift aid if you are a UK tax payer, as this also adds the tax onto your donation) </span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; background: white; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 2;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">So if you can spare anything, it will all be very much appreciated by both myself, and the Leukaemia &amp; Lymphoma Research Charity that this epic trip is all in aid of... </span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; background: white; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 2;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"></span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Thanks again for visiting, and even more&nbsp;thanks if you are sponsoring!!!... </span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; background: white; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 2;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Enjoy everyone!</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; background: white; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 2;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Greg......</span></span></span></p>
