On April 10th Emma and I will be running the 2011 Brighton Marathon in aid of the PRS for Music Benevolent Fund....

The PRS for Music Members Benevolent Fund provides financial help to members and former members of the Performing Right Society when they have financial problems. The Fund helps people who are unable to work because of illness, accidents or disability and helps those who may find things more difficult as they get older, also supporting the immediate families of members and ex-members.

The Fund has been helping songwriters and composers in times of crisis since the 1930s, they are only able to do this thanks to your generosity.
