I’m a mum who loves books and reads with my baby daughter almost every day. When I started seeing the MS Readathon ads, I looked into it and found that even mums and babies can join, even if the little one isn’t reading yet herself.

The MS Readathon raises vital funds for people living with multiple sclerosis. Doing this alongside my daughter, maybe even starting a yearly tradition, is a way to show her that small actions, like sharing stories together, can help others. I want her to grow up knowing the importance of kindness, giving back, and using what we love to do a little good in the world.
