The Challenge

Reading for a Cure is all about raising money and awareness to find a cure for childhood cancer. It is about making a commitment over the course of one year to make a difference in the lives of children. I am asking the book blogging community to show how much we care for children by committing to this cause. The level of commitment is up to you. Here is how it works…

Choose a Level of Participation:

1. One Month – Pick any month in 2010 and push yourself to read as many books or pages as you can with a commitment to donate a certain dollar amount per page or book or review. Consider asking friends or family to sponsor you or match your donation.
2. Three Consecutive Months from January 1st – March 31st. Focus your efforts in three months of reading. Consider teaming up with another reader and “match” each other.
3. Six Consecutive Months from January 1st to June 30th. Use these six months to focus on the cause to raise money to end childhood cancer.
4. Be a superstar. Commit to a full 12 months of reading for a cure, setting a dollar amount to donate for all the books or pages you read in 2010. Or perhaps you want to donate per review you post, or reading challenge you complete. The choice of HOW to donate is completely up to you.

What a great cause! I love the idea of making our reading meaningful.  I will likely choose one month and donate a certain dollar amount per page or review.  I’m not sure yet but I’m thinking I’ll make it coincide with the read-a-thon.
