Send Mac the Monkey Globetrotting in the Name of Music and Macmillan

Old Waconian composer, Pete Twist, is on a mission. Even while undergoing treatment for cancer he is keen to make a difference to the lives of others by raising as much money as possible for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Pete is an incredible musician and has dreams to travel around the UK and worldwide. Being hospital bound has stopped his travels for now so while he can't cover miles, he is hoping to raise money to support others who are impacted by cancer. And in his place, a friend's monkey is travelling on a musical voyage.

"So far Monkey has had adventures on Pete’s behalf at Air Studios and Abbey Road Studios; he is now up in Manchester meeting Pete’s family and friends. But – he’s up for more!

Is there a way he can get to some other music events around the country , or Europe (specifically MONTE CARLO, which is a place on Pete’s wish list) – or even the USA, which is one of his huge dreams…?? I’m sure there is!

In the meantime – we are setting a BIG target to get things rolling and let’s see if Monkey - now called MAC the Monkey since he’s helping Pete raise money for Macmillan… can have some BIG adventures and help Pete make a BIG difference! xxx"
