Mencap has teamed up with personal finance magazine Moneywise to raise funds via
the [Moneywise Ask the Professionals FT-SE Charity Challenge.](http://www.moneywise.co.uk/CTHE-3U2E5K.htm)

Investment expert Brian Dennehy and 100 others are hoping to raise at least £2,000
on a six-day sponsored hike through the Hindu Kush mountain range. They are asking
Moneywise readers to help by estimating the FT-SE level at the close of business
on Friday 30 October 1998. Each projection should be sent in with a £5 donation 
to Mencap. The winner will receive a £1,000 cash prize that has been kindly donated
in support of Mencap by Standard Life fund management.
