<p><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: small;">Many moons ago, a motivational speaker came to work and I remember him saying that, when faced with a mountain, there were two types of people; those who were compelled to climb it and others who would stay at the bottom and look up. I've always considered myself to be the in the latter group, and if a deckchair and glass of wine was available too then so much the better.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: small;">Metaphors aside however, on Saturday 10<sup>th</sup> September, I'm putting myself into the first group and climbing a mountain for real (Schiehallion) to raise money for the <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nicola Murray Foundation</strong>, along with my neighbours Maria and Caroline.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: small;">Caroline’s sister, Nicola, died in 2010, aged 34, from a generic form of cancer that predisposes a person to colorectal, endometrial or ovarian cancer at a young age. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: small;">The Nicola Murray Foundation has been set up in memory of Nicola as a means to perpetuate the care and concern that she showed to others in her life. The Foundation is funding research by Edinburgh University and Western General Hospital (Edinburgh) into this particular form of Ovarian cancer. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: small;">For those of you who know me, you'll know I don't really 'do' exercise, and so the training and climb itself will be quite a challenge for me!</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: small;">Thank you so much,</span></span></p>
