I'm taking part in the Royal Parks Half Marathon this October 2025 to support children's reading with Bookmark!

Reading is my passion and literacy is not a given.

I'm running in support of Bookmark because they facilitate the gift of this wonderful activity to those who might miss out on it.

Many of the happiest--and important--moments of my life have involved books taking me to worlds that I would never have known about otherwise. I hope others will enjoy what I have because of Bookmark's work.

Bookmark helps children develop the reading skills and confidence they need for a life of opportunity by delivering wrap-around support to schools.

I will do my best not to humiliate myself on the run.

Here are a few ways you could help:

£14 = Gift a school a headset to run our One-to-one Reading Programme

£50 = Gift 100 children The Story Corner magazine to enjoy at home

£100 = Gift a school 20 brand-new high quality and diverse books for their library

£250 = Support two children at risk of falling behind with a One-to-one

Thank you for supporting Bookmark and for helping to change children’s life stories!
