Hi,

Many of you will know how much music means to me. I believe that hearing a great piece of music on the right day can change your life for the better.

Paul Flynn - one of the music lovers I met last year - works for a fantastic charity called MUSIC IN HOSPITALS. As Paul and I chatted about bands we loved it came to light that we both enjoy running now and again - so he and MIH kindly offered me a place in this year's London Marathon.

I must raise £1500 and run 26 miles on April 25th. Today on Jan 2nd that feels like a tall order but with your kind donations ( and some serious training on my behalf ! ) we can enable MUSIC IN HOSPITALS to carry on their great work taking live music to those who need it more than any of us.

Thank you !

Ed
