Donations cannot currently be made to this page
The NHF was founded in 1987 to benefit sick & disabled children by taking them on a unique international holiday whilst still providing the highest standard of medical care. As well as putting a smile back on their faces, it gives their parents/guardians a much deserved break

Story

If you want to see me get Tasered and suffer extreme pain...READ ON

I have been fortunate enough to assist with the National Holiday Fund for their last 2 trips, taking sick and disabled children to Orlando, Florida for the holiday of a lifetime

Of course we visited all the Disney theme parks but we also had a great day with the Eustis Emergency Services. They put on a show for the kids (and helpers !!!) 

They showed us a Taser and explained how they knew exactly how painful it is, as they have been tasered during their training

I use a taser here in the UK, so in a moment of madness asked if they would taser me (we cannot get tasered in our UK training)

I thought it would improve my understanding of the taser AND put on a great show for everyone watching


Well the pain was unbelivable. 2 barbs fired into my back. The barbs are like mini fish hooks that pierce the skin. The barbs are connected to wires that deliver the electricity from the taser. The gap in the body between the barbs gets the full shock, causing the muscles and nerves to lock out. The 5 seconds seemed like 5 hours and felt like being electrocuted while also being trampled all over by a herd of elephants. 


Click "my video" under the NHF logo on the left of this page for a teaser taser video !!

 

To see me actually get tasered and to hear my screams with an explanation from the American Police, you will need to donate at least £2 to the National Holiday Fund. Less than a beer for such a good cause. I will then send you a link to a full size video, showing me get tasered and with full sound


You can donate via credit or debit card or Paypal via the link on this page. Make sure to tick the gift aid if you pay tax as that gets more money to the charity


The charity had to pay £1000's in extra costs due to the UK airports being closed for the first 4 days of our trip. Hopefully I can raise something to help towards that cost
