He everyone!

Thanks for visiting my page. I'm running the Virgin London Marathon on 22nd April 2012 to raise funds for Sound it Out.

I've been involved with Sound It Out one way or another since 1994 and in recent years I've been proud to be Chair of the Board of this remarkable organisation.

The work Sound it Out does around the West Midlands to bring music to people in a range of circumstances is remarkable and I really believe it changes people's lives on a regular basis.

This successful and passionate organisation has just had its Arts Council funding cut by 100%.

Whilst this only represents about 12% of their income – this is the income that pays for the people who fundraise the other 78%!!!

You can sign the petition here.

Please donate generously to help the work they do and I'll entertain you with tales of my aches and pains as training hots up in the next few weeks!

Thanks!
