My story

Dear friends,

Following hiking the 24 miles in a day that left me with blisters for a week, I am going to be cycling from London to Windsor and back this Sunday (6th September) while singing constantly (cello would have been a struggle) to try to raise some money for Music4Children, the charity I am chair of. 100% of the money raised will go directly towards the completion of the orphanage and day centre we are building just outside of Kathmandu.

I am doing this on a whim because I have not experienced sufficient physical discomfort in recent weeks and I could really do with some bad saddle sores.

Coming up with Music4Children:

Breaking the world record for the world's highest gig on Everest - want to come along?

Breaking the world record for the most people running in their underwear - this Christmas. Let me know if interested.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! Anything you can give will go far in helping us achieve our goal.

Much love
