<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-US">In a quite breathtaking display of altruism – one which, self-evidently, borders on common-or-garden lunacy – we, the under-signed, have decided to walk up a very large hill in the new year to raise invaluable funds for those loveable rogues at Everton in the Community.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-US"> </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-US">Of course, troopers and Evertonians that we are, the hill in question is neither hump nor mound – no, it is Mount Kilimanjaro, which at 19,340 feet represents the highest free-standing mountain in the world.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-US">Everton in the Community is one of Britain’s most productive and highly-respected community organizations – one which is selflessly dedicated to providing a wide range of programmes which focus on health, education, disability and social inclusion.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-US">Although our preparations have gone exceedingly well, we are all fully aware that we are now nearing the end of what could best be termed our “ pre-season “ and that the real campaign will begin in earnest all too soon – January to be precise.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-US">It goes without saying that this will come to represent the most demanding and arduous physical and mental challenge any of us will ever undertake.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-US">Of course, we very much welcome your best wishes and your kind words of encouragement – but we also want your money…… lots of it please.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-US">So, donate if you can……….a small amount, a large amount….it doesn’t matter……it will go to a good cause…and we will all be very grateful.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-US">Dig deep – and thanks very much.</span></span></p>
