I am running for Musical Boroughs Trust helping disadvantaged young people transform their lives with the power of music

I am running the London Marathon this year to help a new charity, Musical Boroughs Trust, that supports disadvantaged young people in west London develop personally and socially by giving access to music education that is increasingly unaffordable to many. Before the pandemic over 41% of children growing up in the charity's London boroughs were living below the poverty line - after Covid that figure will be even higher now.

So my running 26.2 miles on 3 October is focusing on helping getting young lives back on track by developing a life-long love of music.

I would be so grateful if you are able to donate to Musical Boroughs Trust here - any help will be much appreciated!

Thank you so much for your generosity.

Jonathan
