I'm taking part in The Lowe Alpine Mountain Marathon, which is a 2-day mountain orienteering event that takes place each year in the Scottish Highlands.</span></span></p> <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: small;"> </span></p> <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">I'm hoping to raise &pound;2,000, which will go towards our ambitious refurbishment project of the RSA Great Room. Our plan is to make the Great Room a platform from which ideas can be shared with the world. Upgraded technology will provide live link-ups to allow speakers to be &lsquo;beamed in&rsquo; - expanding the range and variety of our lectures.</span></span></p> <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span> <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: small;"> </span></p> <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: small;">You can get more information at </span><a href="http://www.thersa.org/greatroom"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: small;">www.thersa.org/greatroom</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;"> or by viewing the short video below.
