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.

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!

First book!

Sunday 30th Aug
Alfie helped me choose my first book using a spinning wheel and the winner is The Impossible Fortune! I'm starting slightly early as I've just finished a book and haven't got time to read another one before the 1st!

The books!

My challenge!

Saturday 15th Aug
When I saw the Teenage Cancer Trust were running a sponsored readathon I knew I had to take part! It is such an important charity to support and it involves doing one of my favourite things, reading!

I have taken some time to decide what challenge to set myself and I've decided on reading the oldest books on my to-be-read list! Some of these books have been on my shelf from before I had children! I have got 12 books to read in total (my usual monthly number is 11 books). I'll post a review of all I've read here. Wish me luck!

Thank you to my Sponsors
