Story

I want to raise as much money for Blood Cancer UK in memory of my dad, Paul who we sadly lost earlier this year.

He was a loving husband, father and grandad who was taken from us far too soon!

My dad was always so supportive, especially of my passion, drumming.

So in his memory I will be doing a 12 hour non-stop Drumathon on Saturday the 3rd of February 2024 at the amazing drum store Into Music which is local to me and a great place to host this event to raise funds and awareness of blood cancer here in the UK.

As much as I love drumming, doing it for 12 hours non stop will be no easy feat! I’m hoping for as many donations as possible which will keep me going through this tough test!

On the day, there will be lots of things going on, I will have representatives from the drumming community coming along to support me through this, there will be another drum kit set up to come and play along PLUS there will be an opportunity for musicians to bring their gear along and jam along with me to keep me going through the event!

My dad would have loved this day and I will do my very best to raise as much money for a great charity and am hopeful this can be a regular event.

If you want to come down to the shop and get involved the address is;

We will be streaming the day through social media too, so if you can’t make the day at least you can pop in and out of the stream.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and an even bigger thank you if you have donated some money to the Blood Cancer UK charity.
