Hello friends.

You are READING THIS because I have decided to "face the flames" and take part in the Deafblind UK Firewalk 2026 🔥

Wow!

I am sure I will be quite nervous about this as the moment approaches because a firewalk is apparently exactly what it sounds like - a barefoot walk across red-hot wood embers measuring up to 800 degrees! As I have read: "No tricks, no special effect. Just you and the fire."

I have recently been learning a lot about dual sensory loss and the unique challenges it can pose. I think it's a really under-served community and so I will quite literally be hot-footing it across the coals to support those living with deafblindness around the UK, so please give generously if you can.

Your donation, whatever you can give, will make a huge difference to the lives of people affected by sight and hearing loss, enabling Deafblind UK to continue their vital work and reach all those who need them.
