I am running both the Paris and London Marathon to raise money to support improving mental health and raising awareness of the benefits of music, community and fitness can bring to improving mental health.

Not just one marathon for my first time but two only two weeks apart.

Now its my chance to give something back to the Metal Community whos music and community has always inspired me to keep going and to give others the chance to benefit from the community and sprit that music can bring.

Fueled by the unstoppable energy of the metal community, we fund projects that use music to improve mental health, unlock young potential, and amplify underrepresented voices - because metal is more than music, it’s a movement.

The rock and metal community is truly unique. We’re brought together by a shared love of great music and a deep sense of belonging. We feel part of something bigger - accepted, understood, and supported, like someone’s always got our back.

Music is transformational. Whether playing, listening or watching live - it can be an escape when you are struggling, give you a voice when you feel unheard, bring people together, and give you the confidence and skills to thrive.

Through our fundraising, we provide grants to community organisations that use music to change lives. Previously funded projects include The Music Works, Heads Above The Waves and Gig Buddies.
