Help me take on the World's Coolest Readathon!

Help me support the mental health of Australian Heroes

Between being the Chief Reading Officer of Brothers and Books and a dedicated Primary School Teacher, I'm always looking at taking on an exciting challenge. I can't wait to be a part of the The World’s Coolest Readathon! From September 1st to 30th, I’ll be diving into 5 incredible books in just 30 days.

But here’s the best part: every dollar raised goes directly to the mental health charity ‘Brothers and Books,’ supporting our brave Australian Defence Force soldiers, Veterans, and emergency services.

I’m reaching out to you—let’s make a difference together! Help me hit my fundraising target, or better yet, join the readathon yourself. 

Let’s read, raise funds, and champion a fantastic cause!
