Supporting the MS Readathon

Being hopeless at sports of any kind had always meant that my participation in fundraising efforts had been dismal to non-existent. Walkathons, fun runs, bike rides had never appealed but I remember one charity event I was enthusiastic about and fairly successful at in school was the MS Readathon. Back then, even at $1 a book, I was able to get into fairly decent double, nearly triple, numbers when it came time to collect from my sponsors. Imagine my excitement when a friend from book club said that adults can also participate now!   

So, putting our hobby to good use, my book club has entered the 2012 MS Readathon to help make a difference in the lives of those affected by multiple sclerosis (MS), to raise funds for furthering awareness and services. There is one difference though; times and finances have moved on, so we've had to add a few more zeros to our target. Our fundraising goal is $1,300.00.
