Try-a-Tri · 12 May 2019

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

You all know me, you know a Triathlon is not something I do regularly (or EVER) but I’m going to do this! It might not be the longest or the hardest one out there, but I’m training for it, I’m going to cycle a bicycle on a road (nightmare) and I’m going to raise money for an amazing charity! Please support us!

Team Monkey take on a Triathlon on Sunday 12th May

We are thrilled to have Ellie Fletcher in our team. Ellie is a former Monkey Music teacher and is now training to become a Music Therapist with Nordoff Robbins.

Try-a-Tri? A baby triathlon to encourage more women to participate in the sport and try it out: 200m swim, 11km bike and 2.5km run

Aqua Bike: 400m swim, 26 km bike

Nationally, Monkey Music have been running for 25 years, with over 12,000 families attending our award-winning pre-school music classes each week around the country.  Find out more here: https://www.monkeymusic.co.uk/why-us

- £5 will provide a tool for a non verbal child to be able to express themselves beyond words through something as simple as drumsticks

- £50 will pay for a child suffering from cancer to attend a music therapy session

- £250 will pay for a full day of music therapy in a dedicated centre

Ambitious target?  If we reach our target it will provide over 300 individual music therapy sessions.  At Monkey Music we share the belief of Nordoff Robbins that music really does change lives - help us to support their work and reach more people.
