Me and Flea!

I just found out Flea is running the marathon, too!

He is running it to raise money for his Silverlake Convservatory, an amazing community music school he created to give affordable (and scholarship) music lessons to any kids who want it. He graduated from Fairfax High and he regards his school as a way to help keep music accessible to any kid who loves music, since the arts have largely been cut out of public schools.

Theo took lessons there, and I have been there when shipments of old violins have come in from orchestras, to give to kids. I am going to give to Flea and the Silverlake Conservatory. You can, too!!! Go to Crowdrise (created by Ed Norton) and find Silverlake Conservatory.

Factoid: The great musician himself does not listen to music when he runs. He listens to his heartbeat, his footsteps, the world around him. He hears music in the world. I love that!
