Sponsored Read: Harry Potter Book Challenge

Hello! My name is Darcy Knight and I'm 11 years old. I'm dyslexic, which means reading can sometimes be a challenge for me - but that's what makes it so special! Instead of seeing dyslexia as something that holds me back, I like to think of it as my superpower, because it's taught me how to be brave and determined. I absolutely love reading, and nothing makes me happier than getting lost in a good book.

This February, I'm setting myself a huge challenge: to read all 7 Harry Potter books in just one month - that's 3,733 pages in 28 days! It's going to be tough, but I'm ready to give it my all. I want to show everyone that being dyslexic doesn't mean you can't achieve amazing things. I hope my story inspires others like me to keep going, no matter what.

I'm asking for your support by sponsoring my challenge. Every penny raised will go to the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity, which helps children and families get the support they need. Your donation will mean so much - not just to me, but to lots of other kids who are still finding their own superpowers.

Will you help me make a difference?

The Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity leads the way in providing specialist support to children, young people and adults with dyslexia. Their mission is to help people: 1. Believe in themselves 2. Achieve their goals and 3. Succeed on their own terms. There is no government funding for dyslexia, despite its lifelong impact. Fundraising is vital to ensure in-depth assessment and tuition is available to anyone with dyslexia, including lower income families and schools in disadvantaged areas. Thank you.
