Embrace the Burn, Baby!

Brace yourselves for a tale of scorching soles and soaring spirits, because yours truly is about to waltz through a bed of fiery embers all for the noblest of causes: raising funds for the incredible Hospice of the Good Shepherd.

Mark your calendars for February 15th, 2024, because that's when I'll be channelling my inner salamander and conquering a path of red-hot coals. While most folks spend Valentine's Day sipping bubbly and whispering sweet nothings, I'll be whispering sweet surrender to the flames.

Why this fiery feat, you ask? Well, the Hospice of the Good Shepherd is a haven for those facing life's toughest challenges. They provide compassionate care, comfort, and dignity to folks battling illness, and their work deserves a standing ovation (on hot coals).

So, here's the deal: I'm setting a fundraising goal of £500 and every penny I raise will go directly towards supporting the hospice's mission of love and light. In return for your generous donations, you get to witness (and vicariously experience) the epic saga of my fiery pilgrimage. Think photos of me sporting charred Converse and a singed grin, updates on my mental state as I approach the inferno, and maybe even a live stream of the whole thing (dancing flames and nervous stare included).

Click that donate button, spread the word, and prepare to witness the hottest act of charity this side of the sun.

With flaming gratitude,

Paul
