Calling All Grown Up Readers
Wednesday September 22 2010 09:59 AM
For 22 years, the MS READaTHON has inspired Irish children to read, nurturing their love of literature and giving them an added reason to open their world to books.. raising money for those living with Multiple Sclerosis. This campaign has been such a huge success that this year we’re hoping to make it BIGGER and BETTER by letting adults in on the action... introducing our new ‘Grown Ups’ campaign!!
Over 30,000 kids around the country will be reading from mid October and we would love for you to join our MS READaTHON reading crew. Whether you’re a member of a book group, did the MS READaTHON in the past, or just have a passion for reading, then we would be delighted to have you on board. You can choose the length of time you’d like to participate for, be it a couple of days or a month. Obviously, the longer you decide to read, the more money that will be raised. Last year our school-based campaign made an incredible €1 million, providing much needed support, resources and research for the Irish MS Community. Imagine how much we can raise with the help of adult reading enthusiasts! So if you’d like to get involved, all you have to do is fill out our online registration form and we’ll give you all the details. Also, you can check out our Grown Up Readers page or find us on Facebook for more information, reading suggestions and fundraising ideas... and don’t forget to tell all your bookworm buddies!
