The MS Readathon is organised by MS Australia and Australia’s principal literacy and fundraising program.

The MS Readathon encourages children to improve their reading skills, as well as teaching them the value of giving to others, by supporting Australians living with MS. 

Last year more than 46,000 Australian kids joined in the fun by reading more than one million books and raising over $3.5 million.

Simply register your child for the 2010 MS Readathon and get them ‘reading for a reason’. Once your child is registered we will send a Starter Pack in the mail containing all the information needed to have a successful MS Readathon. There are two ways you can register your child:

• Online
• Download the registration form (or get one from school) complete and then mail back to us at MS Readathon

Your child can then approach family and friends for sponsorship support that can be either a flat donation or sponsorship for the number of books, and amount of time, they read in any 30 days in June, July or August.

Kids can read books, magazines, newspapers and website content of their choice. They can also count books that they read for school, making the classroom a very rewarding experience.

Every child who completes the MS Readathon receives a certificate and reading rewards to say ‘thank you’ for their role in changing the lives of Australians living with Multiple Sclerosis.
