<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">As my waist measurement was closing in on my age, I decided that it was time to do something about my fitness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the same time it seemed a good idea to raise some much needed cash for a good cause.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">So, in February 2012 I am taking part in a charity bike ride from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to Angkor Wat in Cambodia to raise funds for Highland Hospice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will be cycling a total distance of 495 kilometres- in real money that’s 307 miles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Speaking of money, it would be fantastic if you could sponsor me for this effort.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am paying all of the trip costs myself, so all donations will go to the charity.</span></p>
