Drum For Life – UPDATE – Phil Breaks Record! 11 August 2009 Message from Phil Knight: I DID IT!!!!! Thank you to everybody who supported me through the event. I can’t believe I actually made it. I beat the record by four minutes meaning I drummed for 102 hours and 53 minutes, we worked out that I had two and a half hours sleep for the whole five days. A massive thank you to all who have donated to this amazing charity. It means a lot to me and the Foundation. But please keep giving whatever you can it all counts. I can’t thank you all enough. All the best, Phil Knight. *** Phil Knight (freelance drummer) will be attempting to break the world record for endurance drumming to raise funds and awareness for the Helen Bamber Foundation in Leicester Square Gardens (nearest tube: Leicester Square), 19-23 July. During this mind-bending marathon, the only time he’s allowed to stop is for five minutes after every hour to eat, drink and have a bathroom break. (The current record is 102 hours, 49 minutes.) In his own words, Phil describes his motivation behind this mad endeavour: ’I’m doing this crazy thing for the Helen Bamber Foundation, a charity I became a little involved with a few years ago. It touched me when I saw how they help women who are survivors of rape, genocide and other gross human rights violations, they do amazing work and I’ve always wanted to do something to help out so this is it!’ For more information about this amazing event or to find out how to get involved, please contact Stephanie Chaplin on 020 7631 4492 or stephanie@helenbamber.org. |
