<p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 15pt; color: #888888;">Dear All</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 21px; color: #888888;">As some of you may know, in November I'll be cycling 400km (over 10 days) from Angkor Wat in Cambodia<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. &nbsp;
I'll &nbsp;be cycling with a <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>group of&nbsp;<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>people whose &nbsp;aim is to &nbsp;raise money for children who live on rubbish heaps.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #888888;"><span style="font-size: 21px;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 21px;">The project is well run by a Vietnamese friend of mine and the money raised will go<em> directly</em> into building &nbsp;a school &nbsp;for these children, thus giving them hope for the future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>We'll be visiting the project centre for the school &nbsp;en route and I'll be able to send people pictures and detailed information about the project once I have seen it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #888888;"><span style="font-size: 21px;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: JA;">I know we all get asked for donations daily but if you felt inclined to sponsor me I would be very grateful.</span><span style="font-size: 21px;">&nbsp;All the money raised will go to this charity.
&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 21px;">I have personally paid all the costs for flights accommodation etc.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #888888;"><span style="font-size: 21px;">&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 19px;">Cambodia is one of the poorest and most devastated countries in the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>With child mortality four times the average even for South East Asia. In rural areas most families live on less than 75 cents a day. More than half the children aged 5- 17 have to work to support their families and only 9 % ever go to school.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #888888;"><span style="font-size: 21px;"><br></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; color: #888888;">You can either &nbsp;donate here:</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; color: #888888;"> on&nbsp;&nbsp;my Just Giving Page.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-size: 15px;">&nbsp;</p> </span> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><span style="color: #888888; font-size: 21px;">Or &nbsp;send a cheque&nbsp;<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>to:</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><span style="color: #888888; font-size: 21px;">&nbsp;</span><span style="color: #888888; font-size: 21px;">Sally Knyvette (or James !)</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; color: #888888;">52 Burnfoot Avenue, Fulham SW65EA</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <span style="color: #888888; font-size: 21px;">Thanks so much!</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
