Story
I’m currently a member of the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain on baritone.
The route is approximately 38.6km (24 miles) and involves 1600m of vertical ascent over the 3 peaks (Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-Ghent) and we are hoping to finish within 12 hours.
I'm raising funds for the NYBBGB Bursary Fund - to provide means-tested bursaries to young people attending our 2024 courses. This will support young musicians to attend the Children's Band and the Youth Band residential courses in 2024. They will receive instrumental tuition from outstanding specialist tutors, be conducted by world leaders in their field, tackle advanced brass band repertoire and make new friends for life.
Please donate to help ensure no young person is excluded from this amazing musical experience due to cost.
(In the event of a cancellation of the event due to the weather, all money donated will still go to the charity. Also it is a team effort with my explorers group and so if someone doesn’t finish, the rest of the team will finish on their behalf)
