This will hopefully lead to other local companies wanting to help to make a difference.<br />&nbsp;<br /><a href="http://www.bournemouth-ink.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: windowtext;">http://www.bournemouth-ink.co.uk/</span></a><br />&nbsp;<br />All&nbsp;I ask, is for you to take a minute of your time to think about what we can do to as individuals and dig&nbsp;deep and donate to make that small factor in putting a smile back on people&rsquo;s faces.<br />&nbsp;</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt;">I will suffer during the event, but not a tiny % as much as these kids currently do.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt;"><br />Thanks in advance</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Mark </span></span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </p>
