I love the fact that you're raising money doing something that I love. I'm going to try to beat my own record from last year which was 23 books.

I had all but given up on trying to get my daughter (Year 4) to read but this has given her the push she needed. We can't stop her now. Thank you."

Students raise money in Readathon Pupils at Devizes School were able to hand over a cheque for £250 to the children’s cancer charity CLIC Sargent and the Roald Dahl Foundation last week after taking part in the national Readathon. Children raise money for the good causes by getting sponsored to read books or take part in literature-based activities. The money raised by Readathon is donated equally to CLIC Sargent and the Roald Dahl Foundation, who both spend money on caring for children and young people suffering from cancer and other serious illnesses. The writer Roald Dahl, famous for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach among many others, was honorary chairman of Readathon from 1988 to his death in November 1990. In 1991 his widow, Felicity, started a foundation in his name. Gazette and Herald 7/5/08
