In April 2024, I will be taking on the huge challenge of running the London Landmarks Half Marathon for a special cause. Thank you so much in advance for donating whatever you can, it really will make a massive difference.

Books to me is like an opportunity to get into the mind of the most creative, smartest people of many generations. I am happy to be fundraising for a charity that directly opens the door for children to a world you only find in books, a world without border. 

"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies... The man who never reads lives only one." – George R.R. Martin

"It also kills time in your London commute." – Adlan R.

Here are a few ways you could help me make every km count:

£5 - could gift a school a book for their library

£25 - could gift 54 children their very own Bookmark literacy magazine to support reading at home

£50 - could gift a collection of new and diverse books to a school to transform their library

£100 - could gift seven headsets to a school to enable children to complete our online reading programme

£273 - could support a school with an annual subscription to Bookmark's Story Corner magazine

£1,125 - could gift a library pack to a school with 200 new books and resources


Your donations will help children to become confident, skilled and joyful readers through Bookmark's holistic approach of combining 1:1 support and high-quality books and literacy resources.
