Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm walking on flaming hot coals to raise awareness for a life changing mental health charity called, Oakleaf.

Emotional challenges are thrown at us every day and sometimes its hard to imagine getting through it. I see walking on hot coals as a mental exercise in taking control of a potentially harmful experience. I will need to have a belief in myself and my abilities while staying calm, positive, and brave in a situation that's out of my control.  It's an attitude I hope to maintain in challenging times to come.

I'm not going to lie, walking on coals is on my bucket list but it feels like I've reached a point where I can reflect on my own life and make this count for something more than just a bit of fun. So, if you are able to spare any money then please support me on behalf of a really great charity.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you!!
