Story
Aha!
As many of you know i'm currently studying at Nexus Christian Music College Coventry for the year, every year the school hosts a RAG week ( Raising And Giving).
This year to help raise money I will be taking part in something totally crazy and insane on 9th-15th May! After last years RECORD BREAKING 66 hours nonstop 'drumathon', ideas of going further but with a twist proved difficult.
However, i am glad to announce that this year i will be doing 5 x 24 hours nonstop over 6 days! Let me break it down, we'll be playing in 5 different venues across the UK, the final one being held at Nexus immediately after the Rag Week Musical, playing for 24 hours nonstop at each one with a 9 hour break in between each one which will involve packing down, travelling to the next venue and then setting up before commencing the next 24 hours!!!
This totals up to 120 hours of drumming, that almost doubles last years 66!
I would really appreciate it if you could continue to support me through my year at Nexus, the money you donate will be going straight to Nexus and will help keep the fees for future students down and also through Rag week we can help reach into local community and help spread the name of Nexus across the UK.
Nexus really has impacted my life and taught me so much that i use daily and will continue to use for the rest of life, Im very fortunate to be at Nexus and i'm enjoying every minute of it!
Please if you could sponsor me through this, i would really appreciate it, even if you feel it would only be a small donation, i'm very grateful, to coin Tesco's phrase 'Every Little Helps"!
If online donating isn't ideal, but you still want to donate then thats brilliant, please phone me on 07951149031 or email me on stevoweston@hotmail.com
Many Thanks
Stephen
