Take part in the 5.0 challenge to celebrate 50 years of Calibre Audio and help raise awareness of print disabilities.

Story

For fifty years, Calibre has brought the joy of audiobooks to thousands of people who can't read print. The impact is profound:

"I cannot thank Calibre enough for giving me back the ability to enjoy the written word again. Thank you." (Calibre member Patrice, who has macular degeneration).

Now, as we look ahead to the next fifty years, urgent support is needed to ensure Calibre can continue our vital work.

Please join me in celebrating Calibre Audio's 50th anniversary by supporting my 5.0 Challenge - swimming 50k in August. That’s 2,000 lengths, so it’ll take me a while, I aim to average 75 a day. Thank you for your support!
