Many people involved in music dedicate their lives because they are so committed to what music means. They don't always -or even often - do it for money, but for the pleasure it gives and their love of their calling. I have been really lucky to have had great teachers who have taught me not only how to play instruments and understand music, but also some of life's other lessons.

I am raising funds- through racing in my second triathlon, (which due to my age will be longer than last year's) - for Musicians Benevolent Fund which supports:

- Musicians at the start of their careers, who need help whilst joining the profession.

- Musicians who have a crisis, such as illness or accident during their working lives.

- Musicians who are thinking about retirement, as well as those later on in their lives.

To qualify for help, a musician need not be a member or even a supporter. The main criterion is working in, or having worked in, the music profession. 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!
