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 from February 5th - 11th 2024, and the theme will be to spin the wheel!

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 100 pages you read you 'collect a snowball',  and donate £1. I'll be donating £1 for every 100 pages I read, 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.
