Having faced a set of extremely difficult circumstances, walking on fire barely compares.

I wanted to set myself a challenge and raise money to help people get the information and support that wasn't available to me as a parent.

I am going to walk barefoot over hot coals to raise money for Parenting Special Children who provide specialist parenting support in Berkshire through specialist parenting programmes; a Sleep Service and support for families at point of receiving a diagnosis of a disability for their child or young person.

Your donation, no matter how small can help provide a better future to all those who bravely battle illnesses and disabilities every day.

I hope my firewalk will inspire you to keep going even when it's hard, to follow your own path, to listen to your heart and never stop believing in a better future and facing your fears one step at a time.
