Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 17th March 2020 my school was closed due to Coronavirus. Shortly afterwards the country went into lockdown. I decided to use my time at home to read (something that I really enjoy) and wondered if the lockdown continued if I would be able to read 100 books in a year. 

I have dedicated my year to reading whenever and wherever I can! As we approach a year I thought it would be nice to dedicate my reading to the wonderful NHS staff who have worked so hard throughout the Pandemic to care for all of us.

I have so far read 90 books (my dad thinks he hasn't read this many books in his whole life!) Please can you donate whatever you feel able to help give me a push to finish the last 10 books. I really want to reach my goal of reading 100 books and along the way raise as much money as I possibly can.

I will keep you posted but in the meantime I need to go back to reading!
