Story
I started singing with Only Kids Aloud when I was 9 years old.
It has been an amazing opportunity singing with this fabulous choir formed from some of the finest child choristers in Wales.
Last year we visited Saint Petersburg in Russia and sang in Mahler's 8th Symphony with Valery Gergiev and the Orchestra of the Mariinsky Opera.
We featured in Danny Boyle’s film, singing 'Bread of Heaven' as part of the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games and last Christmas we performed with Only Men Aloud and Only Boys Aloud at the Wales Millennium Centre. It was an amazing experience to have taken part.
This year Cape Town Opera have invited the choir to perform with them in South Africa next spring as part of the celebrations to mark 20 years since the end of apartheid. I’m looking forward to going to Cape Town. It promises to be an experience of a life time!
My fundraising plans include carol singing with other members of the choir, bike rides, car boot sales and supermarket bag packing.
As a keen competition swimmer with City of Cardiff Swimming Club, I intend to attempt some new, longer distance challenges in aid of this cause beginning with a 400m Individual Medley event at the end of November.
It would be wonderful if you could help to make this experience happen for me by donating.
