Story

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this!

In April, I’ll be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon in support of Live Music Now, a brilliant charity that brings high-quality live music and interaction to a range of communities who might not otherwise have access to live music.

I’ve worked with Live Music Now for the past two years as a musician and facilitator, and I’ve seen firsthand just how powerful music can be. From creating moments of connection and joy with SEN children, to sparking memories and conversation with older adults living with dementia, these musical interactions can increase confidence, friendship and communication of the participants.

Live Music Now are especially good at training and supporting professional musicians to deliver this work with care, sensitivity and creativity, so every session is engaging, respectful and meaningful for the people involved.

Any support, big or small, would mean a huge amount to me and will directly help Live Music Now reach more people through music.

I will play a ditty for 5 random lucky people who donate! This is your chance to have a piece of music just for you!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, your money goes directly to the charity, making it the most efficient way to give and helping keep costs down.

Thank you so much for your support 🏃‍♀️🎶

P.S I'm cooking up some musical mayhem for the end of the race, so stay tuned ....🎷
