I’m raising funds for the UK charity Schoolreaders by litter picking as I walk along the South Coast of England this May. Tax efficient donations can be received on my Race for Reading page where I will keep a record of the distance covered. Any amount you can give will be doubled by matched funding and make a real difference to providing child literacy whilst fostering a love of reading in the UK.
As an author supporter of SchoolReaders I act as their legacy ambassador and have taken part in a couple of Race for Reading challenges. A £20 note once floated towards a member of my team, which was encouraging.
My aim is to walk 40 miles, collecting flotsam and keeping a diary to record anything weird I find along the way. When I took up the challenge in 2022, I came across all kinds of unexpected things.
The charity SchoolReaders are collecting donations online here. It’s easy! Any amount, however small, would be gratefully received and spur me on my way.
You too can join the campaign by registering online. It should be fun!
