Phil's walking on fire effort

MedEquip4Kids Firewalk · 24 October 2009

Based in Manchester, MedEquip4Kids improves the health of babies and children in the UK by providing equipment not available from limited NHS resources. Because we value all aspects of children’s wellbeing, we also deliver workshops in schools to support young people’s mental health.

Story

About MedEquip4Kids - http://www.medequip4kids.org.uk/about.asp - essentially they raise money to buy extra equipment to support children's units throughout the Manchester area. All money raised goes to specific projects and as a charity, they don't pay VAT which means they get more bang for their buck than the NHS does.

Recent projects include £46000 worth of specialist pediatric equipment for Trafford General's new children's unit and supplying £8000 for specialist cots for Warrington Hospital's neonatal ward.

About the walk - I'll be walking across 20 feet of wood embers burning at 1235 degrees Fahrenheit and (hopefully) emerging relatively unharmed. I'm a little nervous about it!

How you can help - sponsor me!

Also, if you have a business in the Manchester area and you sponsor me over £50 then you can get a mention and a link from the about us section of my website (http://www.dreamberry.co.uk/about.htm) for a couple of months.
