<p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span>This a &lsquo;Voyage Into the Unknown&rsquo;, as I am not sure what I've let myself in for. I thought it was a nice kayak down the Thames, but it turns out I have to run 10k and cycle 25k to get to the boat ... gulp!</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText"><span>I did my first run today (14 Sept) and have less than a month to get ready for a 10k.</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText"><span>Why am I doing this? I&rsquo;m raising money for a team called Thrive who work with vulnerable young people on the tough Barton estate in Oxford. Thrive live on the estate, they&rsquo;re there 24/7 and they&rsquo;re seeing the lives of young people turned around.</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText"><span>As a Dad, I like the thought of raising money for children, so this is why I am asking for your help.</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText"><span>On October 16th, I&rsquo;m going to complete the Thrive Sponsored Challenge: I&rsquo;ll run 10km along trails, mountain bike 25km and kayak 1km. And all you have to do is click the DONATE button.</span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText"><span>Please give as much as you are able.&nbsp; </span></p> <p class="MsoBodyText"><span>Thank you for your support.</span></p>
