Ever heard of the MS Readathon? If you live in Australia and you have kids, then chances are you have. For those of you that don't or have never heard of it, here's some blurb straight from their website.

Now, having been a teacher for a few years I've been involved in helping kids do the MS Readathon for quite a while. This year, seeing as I'm now working online, I'd rather support a child who's embracing online marketing in their efforts to raise money for the MS Readathon.

So, let me introduce you to Tash. She's not only doing the MS Readathon this year, but she's also doing something I think is just brilliant.

Tash is going to record the reading all of her books and post the videos on YouTube. How cool is that? Each day, when Tash reads her next book, it'll get recorded and uploaded, and I would love to see her efforts rewarded.

Basically, what I'm asking of you is this. At the very least go and check out Tash's blog that's set up for her YouTube videos, and leave her a comment. She'd be thrilled to know she's got people watching her videos.

Next, if you feel the that MS Readathon is a worthy cause (and how could you not), please visit Tash's fundraising page and make a donation, the amount is up to you.

Go Tash

One of the best uses I've seen of internet marketing this year. Thanks Nez and all at the Dent for your support. Go Tash Go.

My favorite story so far "I went walking" is VERY fast and sweet. Take a look and see what I mean.

She's a great reader too. I love the inflection and voices Tash puts on her characters.

Tash says thanks heaps... It was because of the MS Readathon last year that she started to really like reading and her reading improved 10 fold.

So this year she really wanted to do some thing special to not only help people with Multiple Sclerosis but also encourage other children to start reading..

Your support is amazing and truly appreciated!

Heres to another 23 stories from Tash at http://readwithtash.com/ - boy, June is going to be busy;-)
