Reading For A Cure
This page is dedicated to a year long challenge hosted here at Caribousmom to encourage readers to make their reading count in 2010: help find a cure for childhood cancer. I will be adding updates and information to this page as the year progresses.
To join the challenge, please visit the introductory post about the challenge and use Mr. Linky to sign up.

What a wonderful cause to increase awareness of Childhood cancer as well as making the art of reading do good for others.
I plan on passing this information along to both the Civics Academy advisor and School Librarian where I work. It’s a middle school and I feel it’s a great thing for kids this age to be involved with.
Lori: THANK YOU for passing along the word of what we are trying to do here. I do think this is a good project kids…
