Support a Drummer Turned Runner!!

Hi everyone!

My name is Fin, and I’m proud to be a member of the Bournemouth Youth Marching Band (BYMB). As a passionate drummer, I’ve dedicated myself to making music within BYMB for over 10 years. Now, I’m taking on a new challenge — running the Bournemouth Half Marathon on October 12th, 2025 — all to raise funds for our incredible band!

Why am I running?

Because I believe every young musician deserves the chance to shine. The Bournemouth Youth Marching Band is a vibrant community that allows musical opportunities for anyone and everyone who wants to join , but we need support to provide uniforms, instruments and opportunities for our ever growing band and to allow the next generation of talented musicians to experience everything i did growing up. Your contribution will directly help us nurture creativity, teamwork, and confidence among our youth.

My goal:

To complete this half marathon and raise vital funds to keep our band thriving and growing. Every step I take is for the future of young musicians and the continuation of our musical journey as a band.

How you can help:

- Donate whatever you can – every bit makes a difference!

- Share this with friends and family who believe in supporting arts and youth initiatives.

-Make noise about the wonderful things BYMB do as an organisation!

Thank you for helping us hit the high notes and keep the music alive as a band! Together, we can make a difference!
