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.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!

Two weeks since the beginning…
Monday 14th Sep How am I two weeks in and I’ve racked up 717 minutes of reading in 14 days! That’s almost 12 hours! 📚 ⏰ I’ve finished 3 books and have raised an incredible £289 so far!!! I’m now adding an extra challenge - for every £1 over my original £150 target I’ll read an extra minute! On top of my 30 minutes each day! Thank you all for your donations, keep them coming! It means so much! Thanks, Jess xx Share
One week in…
Monday 7th Sep One week in and I’ve racked up over 250 minutes of reading in 7 days! That’s over 4 hours! 📚 ⏰ I’ve nearly read 2 books as I’ve been doing an audiobook in the car and a physical book in bed every night. And so far raised £135!!! Thank you for all your donations so far xx Share
The challenge begins…. 📚
Sunday 16th Aug📚 30 DAYS OF READING FOR TEENAGE CANCER TRUST 🎗️
This September, I’m combining two things I love — reading & raising money for a charity that does incredible work ❤️
From 1st–30th September, I’m taking on my own little reading challenge, with a goal of making it through the month reading every single day while raising as much money as I can for Teenage Cancer Trust.
My September goals are:
📖 Read every day for at least 30 minutes
🔥 Keep my StoryGraph reading streak going strong (currently at 593 days!)
✨ Read a few books from my own TBR - my aim is 4 💪🏻
🎗️ Raise a minimum of £150 for Teenage Cancer Trust
There’ll be daily mini reading challenges, progress updates, book club nights, reading sprints and probably a few questionable reading decisions along the way 😂
And the best part? You can get involved too! 👀
I’ll be setting fundraising milestones and letting donations unlock challenges throughout the month — so you can help decide what I read and what challenges I take on!
If you’d like to support me, even a small donation would mean so much. 💗
Here’s to a month of books, bookish chaos and hopefully making a little difference along the way. 📚🎗️
Let’s do this! 🥰
