<p>&nbsp;</p> <p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">Nick and I were searching for a challenge at the start of the year and realised the answer was right under our noses, our friends Greg and Charlotte run a company called Go Commando and have been quietly badgering us in the past couple of years to join them on their Three Peaks Challenge. We finally ran out of excuses!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">So on September 16th we will be embarking on the challenge to climb Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in 24 hrs, walking through the night and including 500 miles of driving between mountains!&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">We feel we might need an incentive to do this and have chosen to raise money for a very good cause, The Child Bereavement Charity. This charity aims<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">&nbsp;to make a real difference to bereaved families&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">through providing accessible quality support and information to all affected by&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">the death of a child or when children are bereaved, and accessible quality&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">training for the professionals who work with these families and children.</span></span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">Within our own family and our extended family over the past few years we have experienced such a loss in differing ways and have been lucky enough to have benefitted from the services and support of the Child Bereavement Charity. It felt like a natural choice for us to raise money for.</span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">For more information on the charity and the amazing work they do:&nbsp;<span style="color: #0e774a; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 13px; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: #0e774a;">www.<strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">childbereavement</span></strong>.org.uk</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;"></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">If you can help&nbsp;</span>to raise money&nbsp;by sponsoring us in any way you can this will ensure that at our hardest part in the pitch dark, cold (and potentially rain) we can push ourselves onwards and upwards, knowing we could not possibly return shame-faced having not completed the challenge. What's three measly little mountains in 24 hrs compared with the pain some people have to live through every day?</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">Thanks for any help you can give us!</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">Helen and Nick x</span></p> </p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
