Fundraising Goal Reached!

August is almost over, and I just reached my MS Readathon fundraising goal and even received surprise matched donations. So happy that this little reading challenge turned into something that could make a difference. Special thanks to the donors and to my former university book club for the support. What a way to wrap up the month! 🥰

MS READathon is almost at its end but there's still time to donate if you’d like to be part of it! Every little bit helps.  🫶

Turning My Love of Reading into Impact

This year, I'm joining the MS Readathon by MS Australia. 📚

Reading has always been one of the ways I entertain myself, slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what matters. When I learned about the MS Readathon, it felt like an opportunity to turn something I already love into something that could make a positive difference.

I don't have a personal connection to multiple sclerosis. But I've come to believe that compassion doesn't have to begin with personal experience, or even money, huge following, and grand gestures. Sometimes, it begins with simply choosing to care.

We often wonder how much impact one person can really make. The truth is, meaningful change is rarely the result of one extraordinary act. More often, it's built through countless ordinary acts of kindness, generosity, and people choosing to show up for one another.

So this is my small way of doing that.

Over the coming weeks, I'll be reading with purpose while raising funds for people affected by multiple sclerosis. Every donation helps support vital services, advocacy, and research through MS Australia.

If you'd like to support my fundraising journey, I'd be truly grateful. And if a donation isn't possible, sharing this page is another meaningful way to help.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for believing that even small acts can create lasting change. 💜

Hi Karen, It's so lovely to support a former Book Club member and to come full circle and cheer you on now. It may be a small contribution, but it comes with lots of love. With your Readathon nearly at its end, we’re so glad we could be part of it. Keep reading and inspiring! :) With love, St. Patrick's Book Club
