'The Year of Readers' is a colaborative event, organised by me, where people read all year long and raise money for their chosen literacy charity every time the complete a book. At the moment 41 people are taking part and are raising money for many different charities, including EcoLibris, FirstBook and The African Prisons Project. To sponser any of these people except me please visit the blog and contact the individual person you would like to sponsor.

This fundraising page is my own personal page, where I'll be raising money for 'Room to Read' as part of The Year of Readers. Throughout 2009 I'll be taking part in a year long read-a-thon, where each book I finish earns me money from my sponsors. If you want to make a flat rate donation for the whole year you can use this page to do so. If you want to sponsor me per book contact me at bakerjodie at googlemail dot com .

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Room To Read gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
