Firewalking has been practiced by many people and cultures in all parts of the world. It is often used as a rite of passge, as a test of an individual's strength and courage, or in religion as a test of one's faith.</span></span></span></p>

Obviously the more we raise as indivudals through our friends and family the nearer the target we can get!</span></span></span></p>
