Red-Hot Firewalk · 27 January 2012

Scottish Huntington's Association supports families impacted by Huntington’s disease (HD). 800 people in Scotland have HD with a further 3200 at risk of developing it in the future. HD impacts the ability to walk, talk and swallow, can cause mental illness and affects mood, memory and mobility.

Story

<p>The Hogmanay tequila &amp; mojito combo has obviously addled my brain as I thought it would be a good idea to sign up for a firewalk.</p> <p>Scottish Hungtington's Association are going to benefit from my momentary lapse of reason&nbsp;as they're giving me the opportunity to fulfil a long-held ambition to cross burning hot embers... Peter Duncan has a lot to answer for!</p> <p>So, on Friday, 27th January I will be stepping out&nbsp;onto a 20ft&nbsp;bed of embers burning away at a temperature of 1,236 degrees fahrenheit.</p> <p>I need to raise some funds so I qualify for the firewalk, so please help me out! All donations will be gratefully accepted and it's for a good cause (over &amp; above the possibility that I may fall flat on my face).</p> <p>I should mention the charity stuff...All money raised will benefit&nbsp;SHA's HD Specialist Service in Lothian, which offers a lifeline to people affected by Hungtington's disease, their families &amp; carers. SHA is the only charity in Scotland dedicated to helping people affected by HD. Without their services, 6,000 people would be left without that lifeline. &pound;300,000 is needed this year alone to maintain their services. So every penny helps. For more info go to: <a href="http://www.hdscotland.org">www.hdscotland.org</a>.</p> <p>If anyone wants to come and make sure that I complete the firewalk, be at Tusitala, 47 Buckstone Terrace at 7:45pm on 27th January and help me celebrate with a pint afterwards.</p> <p>Ta muchly!</p> <p>Leanne</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
