Each team member &nbsp;ran nearly 60 miles over the course of two days, following the proposed route taken by the military in Operation Market Garden. It was tough but all members managed to achieve the goal, once again supported by the magnificent crew in the bus. Although it was very difficult, it pails into insignificance in comparison to the everyday challenges of our armed forces and their families. We hope the money we raised makes a difference and we thank all of our families and friends for their support. On a final note, many may be surprised that Nick Laker has not appeared on the birthday honours list for winning both days, however this is currently subject to a stewards enquiry. </span></strong></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;" lang="EN">In the interim......To Nick!</span></strong></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;" lang="EN"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;" lang="EN"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">We are raising money for the Royal British Legion.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 258.0pt;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN;" lang="EN"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></span></span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 20pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;" lang="EN"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Please sponsor us.</span></span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
