My story below... but keep an eye on my updates and social media posts!

A new year from Christmas Carols on Helvellyn raising money with hope... the hope that a cure will be found to fight cancer and prevent those we love suffering or losing their lives.

Cancer research is important and we know that without our efforts and donations a cure will take longer to be found.

However, the joy of being a community which enjoys the great outdoors and the international language of music, especially on the mountain tops, is another fantastic outcome, non-monetary, of all mountain running musical events @mountainaccordionman @outdoorspirit1 want to bring about!

Joy to the world... in a time when many feel helpless.

Come and join in my events.

If you can, donate - everything goes directly to Climbers Against Cancer -.

If you know any individual or business who would like to donate, let me know and I will play them a tune or two from the mountain tops I will reach.

Thanks to those who support me with kit to help me reach fairly challenging environments or compete in very demanding running or outdoor events.

With all my love

Carmine De Grandis (Mountain Accordion Man)
