My story

 

Thanks for visiting this page. I'm going to abseil down Manchester Town Hall! Nervous? Well, yes a bit, but not as much as I was playing Mahler 10 viola excerpts recently or standing in at the last minute at the proms playing Stravinsky's Firebird ballet ... after that it'll be a breeze! So... do come and support if you are around. I'm going down at 10.20 on 15th August. I'm really excited about abseiling down such an iconic Mancunion building! I'm also contemplating fancy dress, and for a short time I also contemplated doing something with my stunt viola at the top, but I think maybe I'll just stick to fancy dress! So any fancy dress ideas welcome!

I'm doing it for a charity who support disabled athletes. If you want to know more then visit www.disabilitysport.org.uk. They are a great charity doing some fantastic work. Please do donate. Every penny counts. Don't worry if you can only give a bit, it's all appreciated. Now the small print:

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
