Story

No children deserve to face hardship, disadvantage, or suffering. Every single child deserves a happy, peaceful childhood and the opportunity to grow and develop in a safe, loving environment. That is why I want to raise as much money as possible to help make that a reality.

About the Charity:

BBC Children in Need supports children and young people across the UK to overcome the challenges they face and thrive. By funding thousands of local charities and grassroots youth projects, they show up for the children who need it most—providing safe spaces to play, mental health resources, poverty relief, and vital community support.

My Challenge:

On this page, I will be documenting my personal journey—moving from buying my very first pair of tap shoes to hitting the floor for a final performance during Tapathon 2026!

On Sunday 15th November, I will be joining thousands of dancers across the country in an official Guinness World Record attempt for the largest number of people performing the same tap routine simultaneously.

The catch? I am starting completely from scratch, and I have just 40 days to learn the entire routine.

How You Can Help:

If I can learn a full tap routine and join a nationwide world record attempt in just 40 days, you can absolutely spare £1 or £2 to support this incredible cause. Every little bit adds up and goes directly to changing a young life.

Thank you so much for your support, and stay tuned for my progress updates (and inevitable stumbles)!
