Story

Hi friends! I'm running the 2020 LA Marathon on behalf of Reading to Kids -- a wonderful LA organization where I've volunteered for the last 6(ish) years that holds monthly reading clubs for LAUSD students. 

Reading to Kids does incredible work -- since their founding the organization has given 175,805 prize books to children who attend the reading clubs, donated 32,446 hardcover books to school libraries, and our volunteers have spent more than 217,104 hours reading to kids.

I'm really inspired by how much they make of a small team (3 staff members) and limited resources and want to help the out as much as I can! 

Please help me help them by giving whatever you can using the 'Give Now' button. The more people that know about Reading the Kids, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!
