Welcome to #TeamBookTrust!

Book Trust is the UK's largest reading charity, transforming lives by getting children and families reading.

More than half of children in the UK don't have a bedtime story at home. Books help overcome disadvantage and nurture a life-long love of reading, but for many it's a luxury families can't afford.

By choosing to participate in the London Marathon on behalf of BookTrust, you're helping to ensure that nobody misses out on the life-changing benefits that reading can bring.
