<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #000000; line-height: 115%; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In August 2012 I plan to take on the mighty Nessie or at least paddle quietly past while she sleeps on my way to completing a very unique challenge.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #000000; line-height: 115%; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I will start at Fort William and stand up paddle board across Scotland to Inverness using the Great Glen Paddle route. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="line-height: 115%; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This challenge has never been done before and as such will attract a lot of media attention, especially when considering the great cause that I am representing as well as the uniqueness of the challenge itself.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I has decided to undertake this challenge in aid of Aberdeen Snowsports Centre and funding the !!NEW!! Dendix slope that will be installed during spring/summer of 2012. </span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Aberdeen Snowsports Centre is run by the company Garthdee Alpine Sports which is a registered charity.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #000000; line-height: 115%; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The charity’s aim is to increase the participation of persons from the Aberdeen area in snow sports activities and to make these activities accessible to all user groups in the community.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #000000; line-height: 115%; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">At Aberdeen Snowsports Centre we continue to get busier and busier to the stage where we are nearly running at full capacity and in some instances we have had to turn customers away or ask them to wait for a long time before we can fulfil their requests. We are extremely excited to be getting our new slope as this will greatly increase our capacity and the extra slope space will mean more people able to take up skiing or snowboarding and potentially follow it through to competition level and beyond. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An extremely worthwhile cause I am sure you will agree.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #000000; line-height: 115%; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am obviously keen to raise as much support as possible and to maximise my efforts to allow the new slope to be bought and installed as soon as possible which will enable us to continue the great service we provide and continue inspiring, enthusing and motivating people about Snowsports.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #000000; line-height: 115%; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I would love you/your organisation to consider making a donation to this very worthy cause and to help us reach the target of £15,000 for our new ski slope.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #000000; line-height: 115%; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In return for any sizable donation there will be the opportunity for the donor to promote their name through advertising at the centre which itself sits in a very prominent position overlooking a large retail park at the Bridge of Dee area of Aberdeen. This would be available in the form of banners, posters, web site etc</span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #000000; line-height: 115%; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We would be happy to come and meet with you to explain further about the challenge and how the money raised will be a great help to the work of Aberdeen Snowsports Centre and our NEW slope.</span></span></p>
