Although not officially a Christian myself, when I was discussing the Land's End to John O'Groats cycling challenge with a friend who is an integral part of the Rock-Up project, I was immediately impressed and wanted to contribute.

As someone who has worked in education for over 30 years and who is passionate about enhancing the opportunities offered to children and young people, I believe that such initiatives are crucial, especially at a time when opportunities for music are under increased threat as funding cuts deepen. 

The Rock-Up project helps to provide such opportunities for those children who might be unlikely to receive them and helps to ensure that music is available to children irrespective of their household income.

Please help me to raise funds so that the charity can continue to expand their work in schools by sponsoring me and thus making a contribution towards this amazing project.
