50 poets in a non-stop poetry relay to raise cash for Medicins San Frontieres. Each poet is sponsored and will read for eight minutes. Entry is by donation, and you can come and go as you please. Can't make it? We'd be delighted to have your hard-earned cash - you can sponsor your poet of choice but it doesn't really matter as all £ goes to the same lump sum which goes directly to MSF.https://www.justgiving.com/teams/PoemAThon
