The MS Readathon, now in it’s 32nd year, has been encouraging children to have fun reading to change the lives of Australians living with multiple sclerosis (MS).

MS affects the central nervous system of more than 20,000 Australians. With no known cause or cure for MS, this annual event has become one of the most important fundraisers for MS Australia.

The MS Readathon inspires children to help people living with MS by collecting sponsorship from family and friends for the books they read for any 30 days over the months of June and July.

It is free for children to register online and every child who completes the program will receive a special certificate and can be eligible to choose their own ‘Reading Rewards’!

Registrations are now open – head to www.msreadathon.org.au to register or if you would like more information.
