Polarthon is an annual readathon (reading event) hosted each February. The aim is to read as many polar-themed books as you can!

This year the event will run throughout all of February!

I knew that for Polarthon I wanted to do something charitable with it, so we're supporting polarbearsinternational.org! I'm sure you don't need me to tell you how polar bears are struggling for food these days, and as they're a big part of the central theme of this readathon, why not try to turn it into something helpful?

The donation idea of the readathon is that for every book you complete, you donate whatever you are able to! I'll be donating £2 for every book I read (I hope to read a lot!) so I would love for others to join me in this!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
