<p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">This October I&rsquo;m going to Nepal for three months to work with VSO. I&rsquo;ll be based in Surkhet with a team of 20 others tackling issues in the community.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">A recent outbreak of cholera took the lives of many individuals in the region. I&rsquo;ll be involved in work to improve local sanitation and health education. Before I go I&rsquo;m trying to raise as much money for VSO as I can to aid them in their work. The plan is to wax the hair on my legs. It&rsquo;s not original but I do have fairly hairy legs so it won&rsquo;t be the most fun thing I do this year.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I&rsquo;ve decided to stagger the first leg so that I wax a 2 by 5 inch strip for each &pound;20 I raise, then wax the other leg completely when I hit my target. I&rsquo;m hoping the donations come in in such a way that I don&rsquo;t have to be walking around for too long with hair on only one leg.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I&rsquo;ll also be taking part in a 10k, to show off my new legs.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Updates and<span>&nbsp;</span>pictures (maybe even some pain filled videos) will be on my facebook page for anyone who is unavailable to attend the waxing sessions.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I know times are hard but anything you give will be very appreciated. It may even help to numb the pain.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for looking at my justgiving page.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Ryan</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.vso.org.uk/volunteer/landing/volunteer_work_nepal.asp">http://www.vso.org.uk/volunteer/landing/volunteer_work_nepal.asp</a></p>
