I am running a 50km Ultra Marathon on 04 May 2024!

I started running to make sure I could keep up with my children at Junior Parkrun and found that I rather enjoyed the time away from life. I started setting myself little challenges, which became bigger challenges and then I decided that running an Ultra Marathon would be fun thing to do. I am not sure I will be saying it was fun when I get to the finish!

I would like to ask if you would help me raise some funds for a charity that can help make life a little better for us all.

Music is everywhere and has amazing power, but to have music in our lives needs music education and opportunities for young people. Friends of the Vox is a charity that believes that every individual, regardless of their background, should have the opportunity to experience the transformative properties of music. They are providing opportunities for young people and emerging composers in a world where the music education is no longer a priority.

The world and all our lives would be a much poorer place without music, so if you can spare a few pounds (or a lot!) to encourage me through 50km and over the hills of the South Downs at Run to the Sea Brighton, both I and those that benefit from the work of the charity will be very grateful.
