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!

My Reading Challenge

Monday 17th Aug
This September, I’m taking part in a reading challenge for Teenage Cancer Trust, committing to read for at least 30 minutes every day.

Reading is already a big part of my life. I discovered my love of books during a time when my mental health wasn’t at its best and I was struggling with PTSD. Reading became my little escape, somewhere I could switch off, quiet my mind and lose myself in another world for a while. Now, reading before bed is something I genuinely look forward to and I usually read for well over 30 minutes anyway.

So when I saw this challenge, it felt like the perfect opportunity to turn something that has helped me so much personally into something that can help others too.

As a mum, the work Teenage Cancer Trust does for young people and their families really touches my heart. No young person should have to face cancer alone, and the support they provide can make such a huge difference during an incredibly difficult time.
For me, this challenge is about something I love, something that helped me through a difficult chapter, and using it to support an amazing cause. 💛

So, this September, I’ll be reading every day  one chapter, one book and one 30-minute escape at a time. 📖✨

If you’re able to support my challenge with a donation, I’d be incredibly grateful. Every little bit helps. 💛
