Story

My name is William, I am 8 years old and I live in Botcheston.  I have been learning to play the cornet for nearly 3 years. (I still have lots to learn!)

Thursday 28th May marks 66 days for the UK in lockdown.  After the clapping on Thursday evening I am going to stay out and play my cornet continuously for 66 minutes to raise money for our Leicestershire Hospitals fighting Covid-19.

If you would like to support me and help raise funds for this cause you can visit the link to donate on line directly.  

Please feel free to come and have a listen to my practising too!

William 😊
