“Music is one of the greatest inventions of the human mind. We hope to help young people to grow up loving music so that they can discover the greatest comfort yet invented on this planet.”

Lord Mayor Nick Anstee is running the London Marathon

He will be the first Lord Mayor ever to run the marathon whilst in office!

Nick is a seasoned marathon runner – having now completed 16 marathons to date! Nick trained hard, rising at 5:30am daily to train, having to fit his running around a heavy schedule of traveling and work. To celebrate being the first ever Lord Mayor to compete in the marathon whilst in office, Nick's daugther, Jennifer, ran the race with him – see their marathon times, Nick: here & Jen here

Nick is a lifelong supporter of the great work that the marathon brings to the community and is using his year in office to make a drive awareness for his own Appeal, Pitch Perfect.

Pitch Perfect brings music and sporting opportunities to young people from underprivileged communities around London.
