<p>Thanks fo taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">As many of you know during the course of this year I have had something of a ‘re-build’ with the installation of a new right hip and 4 weeks ago a new left knee!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have the fantastic advances in medical technologies and surgeries to be grateful for, rescuing me from spending the rest of my life in pain and increasing immobility.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition, next month a close friend is celebrating 10-year survival from ovarian cancer thanks to advances in medicine and to mark this is undertaking a fund raising walk for ovarian cancer research.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I cannot participate in that event as it is taking place in North Carolina<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>but I thought it would be good to try and do my own version of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the event<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>at the same time to do my bit for fund raising.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Thus on the 17</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="font-size: small;"> of September - at the same day and time - I will do my version of the walk!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Given my limited walking ability right now, my goal is simple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will walk out of my door armed only with my crutch and aim to complete a 3-mile circuit in less than 2 hours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Given that I can only do ½ mile in 25 minutes just now, I think this is a sufficient challenge to be deserving of sponsorship.</span></p>
