During our week away I’ve been thinking lots more about my blog for good challenge. I’m intending to donate from any blog related income – I’ll do that as and when I actually receive anything!
The Santa Run for EACH is next weekend. My costume is here, waiting for me to put it on, and my training runs have worked – am fairly sure I can now run 3km without falling over in an unglorious heap. If you’d like to donate something towards that, there’s a fundraising page here. (Really wish Virgin had widgets for putting in my sidebar to display how much I have or haven’t raised. But they don’t. So there you go.)
The library challenge is, well, more challenging. I’m currently 20/429ths of the way there. I know that to get ppl behind it there needs to be something they can see happening, so I’m pondering that. I’d love to use bookcrossing to do something – was thinking maybe some form of book race or book sponsorship, for how many times a book is set free or how far it travels? Wish there was a way to combine it with geocaching – that would be great fun, to hide books and give clues to where they are found for ppl to search, log and re-release 🙂
I might just do a personal challenge to see how many books I can set free, which will also declutter the garage a little along the way 😉
But the first definite challenge is one that the whole family will take up in January. We are going to attempt to read and review 100 books 🙂 This will include picture/ board books read out loud to the baby – we figure if between us we read her two a day, that leaves just over 10 for each of the older children and me to knock off.
So, who will sponsor us for that? You can leave pledges in the comments if you’d like, and money will be collected via Virgin Justgiving as linked in the sidebar. You can also suggest books for us to read or share with the baby if you’d like, and we’ll be very happy to let you know if we take you up on your suggestions!
(I’d really appreciate your help in sharing this post far and wide – tweeting, fb whatever. Thanks.)
