On 7th November I will be walking on fire in aid of the rather wonderful Brendoncare. The coals will be burning at around 1300 degrees and no, I will not be wearing shoes. This will all take place at North Walls recreation ground (River Park) in Winchester as part of the annual Round Table fireworks celebrations.

Please be generous. Brendoncare do some truly amazing work and I'm sure you would agree, me walking on 1300 degree coals is worth a few bob. we haven't got long to raise the necesary funds so act quick!!!
