Help me take on the World's Coolest Readathon!

Help me support the mental health of Australian Heroes

I am participating in The World's Coolest Readathon by reading 5 books in 30 days between the 1st and 30th of September!

All money raised goes toward the mental health charity 'Brothers and Books', whose programs support our Australian Defence Force soldiers, Veterans and emergency services. 

Please help me reach my fundraising goal! Sign up yourself to read some great books and support a brilliant cause!

My Updates

Book 5

Thursday 26th Sep
“Stop screaming I’m scared too” had so many very clear and important messages yet this is the one that felt like an anchor!

Book 5

Sunday 22nd Sep
Stop Screaming, I’m scared too. 

Sounds like something I’d hear coming from our SES RCR unit… 

Book 4

Sunday 22nd Sep
Many a tear was shed in sadness and in laughter at Scott Ryder’s tales in Forged in Fire. 

A unique and wonderful insight 

Book 3

Sunday 22nd Sep
Stories from firefighters always seem so unbelievable… 

From cats stuck up trees to houses that explode and everything in between, the men and women of the worlds fire departments are truly remarkable! 

Book #2

Saturday 7th Sep
The Resilience Project! 

Day 4

Wednesday 4th Sep
Andddd we are back with some laughs, oh my god moments and dad jokes!

Day 3

Wednesday 4th Sep
Hit very much close to home this chapter and with a big day ahead tomorrow 1 chapter did me in for the night!

Day 2 !

Monday 2nd Sep
“You called an ambulance for what?” By Tim Booth has sucked me in! From mop handles where they should not go to “incarceritis” and “status dramaticus” Tim has certainly shone a light on what serving as a paramedic is really like. Good, bad, hilarious and honest.

Book 1

Sunday 1st Sep
Book 1 for the readathon! “You called an ambulance for what?” By Tim Booth. So far, hilarious but also witty and very honest of what our paramedics experience every shift!

Book 1

Wednesday 28th Aug
You called an ambulance for what? I can’t wait to get into this!
