My story

I have decided to raise money for Cancer Research UK, in the hope that it will help prevent future losses like those my family has suffered recently.

 

For the last fundraising week in February, I ran 6 miles for charity and I learnt a lesson - this time I'm going to do something I'm actually good at! So...

 

Anyone who donates will get a personal serenade from me, with the song of their choice, during the week of 7th-13th November. If the music isn't too difficult, you may even get the joy of me attempting to accompany myself on the guitar (though if you'd prefer me to sing a capella or to a backing track off YouTube, I quite understand!)

 

For those who live within a reasonable distance of me in Guildford, you can have your serenade in person (the higher the donation, the further I'm likely to travel). For everyone else, you have the option of a live serenade over Skype or a recorded YouTube video of your chosen song.

 

If possible, it would be useful if people could let me know what they want me to sing a little in advance so that I get the chance to learn the song, as I still have to do college work that week!
