Lucy’s Readathon

18/2/2021

Our granddaughter Lucy, aged 13, has started a ‘Readathon’ to raise funds for Book Aid International. This charity sends books to disadvantaged and marginalised people across the world. Education by reading helps to empower people to change their lives for the better. It costs just £2 for Book Aid to send a book and in 2020 they sent over 865,000 books to schools, libraries, universities, hospitals and refugee camps in 19 countries.

Lucy is aiming to read 20 books over 4 months. She has a page on the JustGiving website with the link https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/lucy-coleman13 which gives further details. She would be very grateful for any support that you could give her challenge to further the work of this inspirational charity.

With many thanks.
