September Reading Challenge

I’m going to read for 1 hour everyday in September to raise vital funds 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 absolutely love reading and thought it was the perfect way to raise money for people who so desperately need it. So I’ll be reading for 1 hour everyday day this month. 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 so much for supporting this wonderful charity ❤️x

Thursday 10th Sep
An update on my sponsored reading for teenage cancer trust 🩷

I’ve raised £42 so far, which is nearly enough to pay for a Youth Support Coordinator to give two young people an hour session each to cope with anxiety and isolation during cancer treatment. 

Thank you so much for the donations I’ve received so far, it will make a huge difference ❤️

I’ve now read for 12 and a half hours from the 1st to the 9th, which is 3hrs 30mins ahead of what I had set myself a goal of. I’m onto my second book after finishing ‘Mile High’ by Liz Tomforde and now reading the next book in the series called ‘The right Move’ and I’m 32% in.

I decided to treat myself to a new kindle (upgrading my 2020 version) and I’m obsessed with it, so it’s helping with finding new books to read as my bookshelf is now full. My boys have also been helping me with my reading 🩵

Any donations would be greatly appreciated, no matter how small, as it all adds up to help young people in need.

Thank you so much 💙
