A Leicester student is warming up for 24 hours of playing the drums non-stop. 16 year-old Jack Radford is doing his 24-hour Drumathon to raise money for the charity Leicestershire Action for Mental Health (LAMP). Last year Jack completed a 12-hour Drumathon for the charity and also won a 'Young Fundraiser of the Year' award for his efforts. This year he's being supported by his band, and also by his teachers as the Drumathon is taking place at his school - Gartree High in Oadby. Jack and his teacher Georgette Brookes tell Aminata that it all starts at 9am on Thursday 29th June and Jack is hoping to raise as much money as possible.
