I’m about to walk barefoot across a bed of glowing embers to raise much needed funds, please sponsor me and feel free to come and watch me burn my feet and get treatment for been stupid.

But this firewalk is not just for me to hurt myself. I’m doing it to support Aid Box Community, an incredible charity that works tirelessly to help asylum seekers and refugees in Bristol. Their mission resonates deeply with me because they are creating a safe and inclusive community—one that extends care and compassion when the world feels full of violence and division. The work they do changes lives, offering vital support to those who need it most.

This challenge isn’t just about taking a step across hot coals—it’s about taking a stand for a cause that truly matters.
