Hunter James

Hi my name is Hunter, I am 5 years old. 

This year I am participating in the MS readathon for a number of reasons. I started school this year and have found I have a love for reading. My favourite books are five nights at Freddie’s and captain underpants. With my mums help, my goal is to read 30 books throughout August for a great cause.

Here’s a little back story why: 

My family has unfortunately been subjected to the difficulties of what Ms can do to someone who has it, and the challenges both the person and family go through while dealing with this disease. My great grandmother was diagnosed with Ms at a young age and sadly past away a few years ago from it before I was born, but her memory and daily struggles are  still shared and explained to me. How she was affected each day with this disease but still managed to live her life the best that she could. Now my family are going through it all again, my mum is in the process of being diagnosed with MS herself. This is such a great cause and I look forward trying to raise as much money as I can for a great cause. 

This August I'm going on an epic journey of discovery for one incredible cause. I'm reading as many books as I can in August to raise funds for families living with MS and neurological conditions.

Money raised from the MS Readathon will help fund vital support and services, which include Help Lines available across Australia, MS Nursing, in-home care, speech therapy and physio, Family Fun Days including resources for kids.

Thank you for donating to support my MS Readathon adventure.
