Celebrating its 40th year, the MS Readathon took place once again for the month of August. The reading marathon encourages children of all ages to read as much as they can for the month-long event while helping to raise funds to send people living with multiple sclerosis (MS) on special family camps.

Year 6 student Makayla Osborne has made St Joseph's School enormously proud by embracing the challenge and encouraging other students to get involved as well. 

"My mum has MS (multiple sclerosis). I wanted to raise money for research for a cure or even another sort of treatment that may help more than the ones that we have now. I enjoy reading so I decided to do it so I could raise money for people living with MS." 

Makayla raised a total of $204 and read twelve books throughout the month! Congratulations to Makayla and all other students who participated in the MS Readathon.
