Tom's fundraiser for World Literacy Foundation

Tom Ward is raising money for World Literacy Foundation

NYC Half Marathon 2026 · 15 March 2026 ·

Learning to read and write is fundamental for any individual to succeed at school and beyond. But there are 770 million people globally who are illiterate and 2 billion who struggle to read a sentence. We work across the world delivering literacy programmes and to break the cycle of poverty.

Story

Hello,

I'm taking part in the NYC Half Marathon in March and wanted to try and raise some money for the World Literacy Foundation. As well as being entertaining, good books promote curiosity, compassion, and critical thinking. I hope you'll consider donating.
