I'm taking on a Read-a-thon in September for Teenage Cancer Trust
This September, I'm taking on my own Read-a-thon 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!

End of Challenge
Wednesday 30th Sep I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has donated, brought a blind book or just supported me on general. I managed to complete all my challenges and read a total of 29 books this month. It has been a really amazing experience and has shown me the good in the world. So thank you again. Share
Week Three
Monday 21st Sep So week three is now complete and I have finished 21/25 books. I held another blind date with a book sale yesterday and made another £92 so that's been amazing. I will be holding one final sale on Sunday and then posting my final results when the month ends next week. Again thank you to everyone for their continued support. Share

Challenges
Thursday 6th Aug After some consideration I have chosen to set myself 4 targets.1. Read 2000 pages
2. Read 25 books
3. Complete one authors entire collection (this will include and collaborations with other authors)
4. Read 5 new books
I have set these as I already Read a lot as it is so I wanted to make sure my goals were a challenge but still achievable. I will update on here and on Facebook as I go along with books and pages completed. As well as if they are a new Read or a re-read. Thank you again for any support
