You know how some people run or swim for charity? Well, I'm not able to do that, and if I was able to, it really isn't the kind of thing I'd want to do. But I still love giving to charities, so I found a way to mix something I am able to do, and want to do, with raising money for charities. A book marathon!
On the morning of the weekend of the 20th to the 21st of April, I will be sitting down and reading until the late hours of the night. It's like doing a marathon for charity, only replacing running with reading.
I'll be picking a list of books, all 200-300 pages long, give or take 20 or so pages either way. I will, of course, be doing this for charity. I've chosen the Great Ormond Street hospital fund. If you've been visiting this blog since I started it in November, then you'll know that I've been going there since I was a baby, and that I want to give something back. If you want to find out more about why that is, then head to the "Look at the old posts" widget that's over there ->, and read the post "ATS and stuff."
