Song cycling for Alzheimer's Society - an original fundraising event coming to a town near you

They begin their unique fundraising event on 1 July in Wells, Somerset and are also asking people to join in and cycle with them or if you are a performer why not get involved in the concerts?

'Song Cycling is an idea I've been wanting to action for many years since I became sentient enough of my uncle's suffering from Alzheimer's and the impact it had on his family. He was a GP, diagnosed with early onset in his 50s, suffered for 14 years and was cared for unremittingly by his wife, Shirley Nurock, who has become a loyal member of the Alzheimer's Society and very involved with related research into provision of care and quality of life for those suffering from dementia. '

I wanted to do a fundraiser with a twist and figured that the challenge of the cross UK cycle coupled with the staging of concerts en-route would be a project that could attract a broad audience and therefore more funds.

I've now got on board a wonderful pianist, Susanna Stranders, who has a passionate cause of her own and who is happily partnering me in the project, raising money for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. The concert programmes are each centred around a song-cycle (a group of songs by a single composer, connected by a theme or story) and also feature popular opera tunes and lighter music so there should be something for everybody!'
