In one of those moments of madness where you dont really know what you are signing up to, the 4 of us have agreed to represent Mizuho in a fundraising event to support Marie Curie Cancer Care (www.mariecurie.org.uk), a charity providing end-of-life home care to terminally ill patients.

In what can only be described as a once in a life time opportunity, we are offering you the chance to not only support the clear challenge favorites, but more importantly to genuinely support a charity that has done some amazing work to raise the quality of life for terminally ill patients. As such, we are taking part in the "Great Escape Challenge" (http://www.greatescapechallenge.com/) with an aim to raise as much money as possible for Marie Curie.

Dubbed the "Teriyaki Tigers" and blending the dream combintion of Japanese culinary finesse with raw power, the team has all the necessary qualities to hopefully not come dead last in the challenge. In any event we will of course do our best to proudly represent Mizuho in the competition.

Clearly we are appreciative of any contributions you are able to make and provide you with the comfort that its all for a good cause.

Many thanks, the Teriyaki Tigers (Allan Nielsen, Philip Bennet-Britton, Fearghal Swords, Andreas Klein).
