📚 Day 12 Update – 1,247 pages down!

A little update on my 70-pages-a-day challenge!

I've now completed the first 11 days, and it hasn't been quite as consistent this week. I had a couple of days where I only managed the equivalent of 30 pages, so the 70-page daily target definitely hasn't happened every single day.

But that's exactly why I'm tracking the challenge overall as well as day by day.

By the end of Day 11, I needed to have reached 770 pages to be on target. Thanks to some much bigger reading days earlier in the challenge, my actual total is now 1,247 page-equivalent — putting me 477 pages ahead! 🎉

That also means I've already completed almost 60% of my 2,100-page September goal.

I've finished four books so far and I'm currently juggling a few more across physical books and audiobooks. I'm really enjoying seeing the tracker fill up — even those couple of unchecked boxes are a good reminder that this is about the whole month, rather than having to be perfect every day.

Thank you so much to everyone who has sponsored me or encouraged me along the way. It's all in support of Teenage Cancer Trust, which makes every page worthwhile. 💙📚

1,247 / 2,100 pages complete!

📚 Day 2 Complete – 200 Pages Read!

Day 2 of my 70 Pages a Day September Reading Challenge for Teenage Cancer Trust is complete! ❤️

My target after two days was 140 pages, but I’ve already reached 200 pages — putting me 60 pages ahead of schedule! 🎉

I’ve been mixing physical reading with audiobooks so far and have been reading/listening to Everything, Everything and A Box Full of Murders.

Progress so far:
📖 200 / 2,100 pages
✅ 2 / 30 days completed
🎯 60 pages ahead of target

That means I'm already almost 10% of the way to my 2,100-page goal after just two days.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported or sponsored me so far. Every donation helps Teenage Cancer Trust provide specialist care and support for young people with cancer.

Day 3 tomorrow — onwards to 2,100! 📚❤️

Every page counts. Every pound helps.

📚 Day 1 – And I’m off!

Today marks the start of my September Reading Challenge for Teenage Cancer Trust!

I’ve set myself the challenge of reading 70 pages every single day throughout September — which means I’m aiming for at least 2,100 pages by the end of the month. 📖

I’ll also be counting audiobooks towards my challenge, with 2 hours of listening equivalent to 70 pages, so I can keep reading (or listening!) wherever I am. 🎧

I’ll be updating this page throughout September with my progress, the books I’m reading and hopefully plenty of ticks on my tracker.

Most importantly, I’m doing this to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust and the incredible work they do supporting young people with cancer.

If you’ve already donated, thank you so much for supporting me — it genuinely means a lot. ❤️ And if you haven’t yet and would like to, any donation, no matter the amount, will help towards an incredibly worthwhile cause.

Day 1: 70 pages ✅
Total: 70 / 2,100 pages 📚

29 days to go!

Every page counts. Every pound helps. ❤️

The 'Seven Every Day' Challenge

Every day throughout September, I'll read 70 pages in recognition of the seven young people aged 13–24 who are diagnosed with cancer every day in the UK. By supporting my challenge, you'll be helping Teenage Cancer Trust ensure that no young person faces cancer alone.

September reads for Teenage Cancer Trust

Every day, around seven young people aged 13–24 in the UK hear the words “you have cancer.” Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to providing specialised nursing care and support for young people facing cancer, helping them navigate treatment while ensuring they don’t have to face it alone.

Throughout September I’ll be setting myself a reading goal while raising money to support their cause. If you know me, you’ll know I’m always taking part in a reading challenge! This one feels especially meaningful because every book I read throughout September will help raise awareness and support for an incredible cause.

If you’d like to support me, whether by donating, sharing my fundraising page or even joining the challenge yourself, I’d be incredibly grateful. Every donation, no matter how small, helps Teenage Cancer Trust continue providing life-changing care and support to young people and their families.

Thank you
