For some crazy reason I'm running the Reading Half Marathon on 18th March 2018.
To make my pain worth it I am running for ABC To Read a Reading based charity whose aim is to make every child a reader, with the self-confidence and skills to make positive life choices and contribute to their wider community.
Too many children are still struggling to read effectively, by the time they are 11, almost 1 in 8 children leave primary school without the expected level of reading required for them to cope with the secondary curriculum (Department for Education, 2013). By supporting Berkshire children to improve their reading skills ABC To Read are contributing to improvements in the social and educational inequality that many local children are struggling with. They work to transform children’s lives by working with schools, families and the children themselves to provide high quality support in developing literacy skills and building self-confidence.
Please help me raise money for this great charity and I'm sure there will be some lovely photos of me looking exhausted on the 18th March for your amusement!!
Thank you
