John Storey will be looking to become one of the fittest euphonium players in the banding world this year as he steps up his running practice to complete the London Marathon.

Funds

37 year old John is helping to raise funds for the Evelina Children's Hospital based in London, and has taken the decision not as a last ditch attempt to make it to the Commonwealth Games, but to help raise funds for a wonderful charitable cause.

So if you see John out and about adding the miles under his belt and losing the inches above it then check out his fund raising page and give him a little financial boost too.

Hard work

He told 4BR: "It’s going to be hard work, but I want to help a great charity. It’s a good job I won’t be playing my euph along the way though!"
