Personal message:

Hi everyone,

Thanks for visiting this page. I just want to tell you a little bit about what I'll be doing: I will be organising and playing in concerts, doing a read-a-thon, and for those who

know me well, you'll be pleased to hear i'll be doing a sponsored silence! As well as donations, if anyone has any ideas on what other events I can do, please let me know.

I want to do as much as I can to get donations. 
I'll even practise for an hour each day!! (for me, that's a lot!)

The NCO are such a brilliant organisation and they have really given me some special memories. I have made loads of friends and have learnt so much musically. It is

wonderful to be playing music with kids that are so talented. Without the NCO, a lot of children would not have the opportunity to play with a proper orchestra. Especially as this year is their 30th anniversary, it is a perfect time to donate.

Also, I have composed an orchestral concert overture and will hope to have it performed in charity concerts.

This year's main (under 14 orchestra) ishopefully taking a tour of Italy and that will not be possible without donations. NCO needs donations to keep running and

everyone owes it to the founder Vivienne Price to keep it going and make many many children (about 500 per year) very happy.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient

way to sponsor me:

National Children's Orchestra of Great Britain will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
