Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I am attempting to run my first marathon and I have been training all winter. I would like to raise money for Calibre Audio Library. This small charity changes the lives of children who cannot read printed books by giving them independent access to stories. Through C.D.s etc. children can listen to books whenever and wherever they want. Seeing a child enthralled by a story when ordinarily they cannot read to themselves is an amazing experience. Through this incredible service, these children are helped to develop their vocabulary and to imagine and explore the world around them. Reading can be something we take for granted, but for blind and severely dyslexic children this charity opens doors to worlds they otherwise struggle to explore by themselves.</p> <p>If you are happy to donate, any donation, large or small, will make a tremendous difference.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.</p>
