September Reading Challenge

I'm taking on a Reading Challenge in September for Teenage Cancer Trust

This September, I'm taking on my own reading challenge and raising funds to help ensure no young person faces cancer alone. I'm taking on the challenge for Teenage Cancer Trust, the only UK charity who provides specialised nursing care and support for young people with cancer. I'd be grateful for your support.

I’m doing this reading challenge in honor of my best friend Ellie who we lost last year after a long battle with cancer. The Teenage Cancer Trust was such a big support for her during her cancer journey and she always talked highly of the support she received through them. Ellie also loved reading and we would often talk about books and shared our favourites so I want to do this for her and any support would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! 

Your donation, big or small, makes a difference. £25 could pay for an hour with a Youth Support Coordinator to help a young person cope with anxiety and isolation during cancer treatment. 

Thank you!

Final week update

Monday 28th Sep
So it has been a while since I updated! I got sick halfway through the challenge but i persevered and managed to read both NightShade and DayBreak by Autumn Woods! (May have read Daybreak in one sitting as I could not put it down!) both books were amazing and I’m glad I had the second one to pick up straight away as the first ended on a cliffhanger! Now I am reading my final book of the challenge which is Twisted Love by Ana Huang which is a book Ellie recommended to me so I’m excited to read it and see why she enjoyed it so much! Thank you for all the donations so far and am grateful I was able to do this challenge and raise money for this cause! 

Week one update

Tuesday 8th Sep
I finished my first book on Sunday which was The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood! It was a book Ellie and I had bonded over and wanted to do a reread before the movie comes out in a couple weeks!! To me it was an absolute 5* Read! Today I’m starting Nightshade by Autumn Woods! 

For Ellie

Monday 24th Aug
I’m doing this challenge for my friend Ellie who I will miss and love forever after loosing her last year due to Cancer. She always spoke to highly of TCT and the support she received through them and even asked people to donate instead of buying flowers for her funeral. I want to raise money in honour of her so people can get the same care and support she was able to receive! 

I will be challenging myself to read 4 books over the next month (aiming for one a week) and I will also be reading books Ellie had recommended of books I know she loved and we bonded over! 

Please show your support and help others get the support they need! Thank you!
