<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I have agreed to take part in a white collar boxing fight on the 27 October 2011 at the Grange Hotel, St. Paul’s, in the City of London. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I volunteered to take part in this some months ago but was not sure which charity to raise money for. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Well my mind was well and truly made up a few months ago when my family received the devastating news that my dad had been diagnosed with bowel cancer.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The news knocked all of us for six, especially my mum but my </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">dad has taken everything in his stride, as he usually does, still smiling, cracking rubbish jokes, playing with my son, Jake, and still partaking in the odd tipple of vino!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">His family, without a shadow of a doubt, means more to him than anything else in the world, everything he does, he does for his family.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> </span></p>
