I will be singing at 3 sessions during MIMM24 as well as volunteering with the catering at the event. 50% of the money I raise will go to the MICA, helping them update their sound system, and my other 50% will be going to the Max Appeal who support people and families with 22q11 a charity that is very close to me as they have supported myself and my son Riley who has this condition.
My solo slot is at 2:30am!!! Please please please, give anything you can to help support these two amazing charities and to give me the much needed support to get my butt out of bed at that time!!!
A non stop music marathon lasting 26 hours and 20 mins. Starting at 1940 on Friday 17th May and finishing with a big party set on Saturday 18th May
This amazing community event was first run in 2018 and raised over £23K on the day with other supporting events pushing the total nearer to £30K. Over 400 people took part to perform and help run the event. It was amazing!
The idea is for participants to play non-stop music or 30 minutes and in doing so keep a relay of live music going throughout the marathon. Money raised will be split 50:50 between our primary charity, the Mersea Island Community Association (MICA) and the participants own choice of charity.
MICA is a fantastic facility run by volunteers and a small management team at the heart of the community located in West Mersea on a small island off the coast of Essex. We are hoping to raise enough money to help install a much needed sound system into the main hall of the centre. This will help improve all events and shows that come to the MICA and will help attract more people to use the centre.
A true community event, volunteers have been flocking in to help support the event with offers of cooking, catering, working on the day, and helping behind the scenes to make it all run smoothly.
We are hoping that this feel good event will not only help raise money for many charities but will also shed some light, fun and diverse music for everyone to enjoy.
Support those you know who are performing and come down on the day to enjoy the event with us all.
The MIMM24 Team
