Readathon & The Novel Challenge

The MS Readathon encourages students to read books, learn about multiple sclerosis (MS) and raise funds to help people living with MS.

Stay tuned for the exciting details of the 2012 MS Readathon!!

With 2010 its inaugural year, The Novel Challenge raised almost $100,000 nationally for people living with MS. The Novel Challenge provides a fantastic opportunity for adults, book clubs, and community groups to get involved and help raise funds for the 20,000 Australians living with MS.

It's easy to take part in these programs and support Australians living with MS.

Happy reading!
