Nordoff and Robbins is the UK’s largest music therapy charity, with a unique approach shaped by more than 60 years of practice. Through the power of music, it breaks through the barriers caused by life-limiting illness, disability and social isolation. The charity does this through providing music therapy to people across the UK, whilst also training the music therapists of the future and funding research to measure and improve the impact of its work.

Story

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>Yes I&rsquo;m a total sucker for punishment and will be taking on the Virgin London Marathon!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>I&rsquo;m raising money for a fantastic charity Nordoff Robins, <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">which uses the power of music to transform the lives of some of the UK&rsquo;s most vulnerable children and adults. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>My son Louis has Asperger&rsquo;s, but also has a very special gift for music, which was what gave me the idea to start helping this very special charity. I have visited their centre and seen for myself how Nordoff Robbins music therapy can help people with severe difficulties have a greater connection to the world.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Skiing and running don&rsquo;t really mix &ndash; big quads are not an advantage when pounding the pavement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>With this in mind I have set a realistic but challenging target of 3hrs 45mins.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">However the main target is the fundraising one, please help me reach my goal of &pound;3000. &nbsp;If you feel like it leave me a fruity message.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
