I'm doing a charity walk

[frankiegth]

Can't believe it. Over the years I've done all sorts of stuff for various charities and sponsored loads of people doing a whole range of events but I've got to admit I'm bobbing my pants as the big day gets closer (Sept 26th).

I'm doing a charity walk of 20feet, but it is over red hot burning coals barefooted.

I'm sure come the time that 20foot will look like 20miles.

Dont be shy Frankie, stick up a link, I am sure some of us will applaud your foolishness. Not me though, I am as tight as a Suttons fan's wallet gnat's chuff.

[ambersalamander]

Bloody hell Frankie. Be careful!

Which charity is it for? I'll sponsor you, especially if you sponsor me and my bike

[frankiegth]

Thanks Ambersal, I wasn't touting for sponsorship I was just letting you lot know what a plonker I am, I wasn't even pi55ed when I agreed to do it.

I thought about doing it for the local burns unit, but, settled for Macmillan cancer trust.

All the best with your endevour by the way.

[ambersalamander]

Burns unit? Ha, I'm not sure they'd approve!

Macmillan is an excellent charity - hope you raise enough to make it worthwhile.

[frankiegth]

I'll keep you all posted. Got a lot of support from those in my local and also at work, I'm suprised how many have given a generous donation/pledge then offered most kindly to squirt petrol onto the coals. They're all heart aren't they. ;D

[frankiegth]

Well, the big day is here, come 8.00ish I'll be "in the zone" or on fire.

[frankiegth]

Mission accomplished. Absolutely fantastic feeling when it's done, if any of you get the chance to do one get on it. Aport from not burning my feet to a crisp the really good bit is I raised in the region of £750 for Macmillan cancer care. ;D

[Giggy of Telford]

Congratulations, that's a great achievment.

[ambersalamander]

Good gracious well done, Frankie - that is truly fantastic.

Nice one, frankie, brilliant effort.

Saw a programme about this firewalking a while back. The people marched accross the coals chanting "cool moss! cool moss!" because aparently if cut down the chance of injury if they didn't actually think too hard about what they were doing.

Did you take the drum accross with you?

A few town fans wanted me to take the drum with me and use it as fuel, .

As for the "cool damp moss" the instructor made refeence to that, I'm pretty sure the term he used was "That's a load of bo11ocks". ;D Indeed it is aswell.

Just like to thank all you wellwishers here on tinpot for your very genuine support and intrest in my effort. Thank you.
