The MS Readathon is gearing up for the 2010 Great Reading Adventure and is looking for volunteers all over Western Australia to help inspire children to read and raise funds for multiple sclerosis (MS).The MS Readathon is Australia’s premier reading-based fundraiser which encourages Australians to read books, learn about multiple sclerosis (MS) and raise funds to help people living with MS.
Each year the MS Readathon calls on volunteers around the country to donate their time to visit schools far and wide, spreading the multiple sclerosis (MS) message and explaining to students how they can make a difference by raising sponsorship through reading!
Many wonderful people volunteer each year. Some have MS; others know someone with MS, and some want to help raise funds for people living with MS. There is, however, a shortage of such people. “Volunteers are integral to the success of the MS Readathon,“ said Jennifer Irvine, MS Readathon National Manager. ”Please contact us if you think you’re able to help with visiting schools or supporting our staff in our State offices.”
Community Representatives are fully trained and deliver interactive presentations supplied by the MS Readathon. Flexibility is essential with full-time availability across April and May preferred, however, administrative support is needed all year round in the state office located in Perth.
Interested individuals are asked to contact the MS Readathon office in Western Australia on 1300 677 323 to discuss their involvement. Please visit www.msreadathon.org.au for more information.
