Music is the beating heart of Guildford Cathedral. But sadly, our rather elderly Steinway piano (c.1890s) has reached a point at which it needs some serious TLC. We are looking to raise in the region of £15,000-£20,000 either to refurbish our Steinway piano or part-exchange it for a more modern second-hand instrument.

I am running the Surrey Half Marathon (13.1 miles) to kick-start our fundraising efforts, and show the world that a Canon Liturgist can also put his money where his mouth is to support our music endeavours. 

I'd love you to support me! Every pound I raise will help us get a piano that is fit for purpose, and will give me the motivation to run the miles. 

In due course we will have a piano that gives music students (including from the University of Surrey) a chance to perform in this extraordinary and unique space, as well as for professional musicians to give recitals and perform concertos here. 

Thank you for joining me!
