Philip’s story
WHAT IS FIREWALKING?
In simple terms, after a motivational training session, sponsored participants walk across 20 feet of wood embers burning at 1236 degrees Fahrenheit, without experiencing any pain or injury at all.
WHAT IS CABARET VS CANCER?
CABARET VS CANCER raises money through world-class cabaret and burlesque. And, quite simply, their aim is to support those affected by cancer.
Since 2016 they have been working with child bereavement teams in local hospices, to ensure they have the tools and support they need to help children who are losing or have lost a close relative.
Additionally, they work with various organisations, including cancer research and supporting those currently dealing with a cancer diagnosis; from the manufacture of modern breast forms for post-mastectomy women in Cornwall; supporting the work of The Loss Foundation, Dragonfly Cancer Trust and many more.
WHAT AM I?
I'm the fool who decided, rather than just simply donate to this wonderful charity, this year I would go the extra mile – well, 0.00378788 of a mile anyway.
And I chose to do this because we're all affected by cancer. Whether directly ourselves or through our loved ones. And it's terrible, and it's heartbreaking, and it's relentless, and it's going to be a tough win...but a win nonetheless. And the goal of Cabaret vs Cancer is just to 'make the lives of those affected by cancer just a little better' while the fight goes on.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
If you like the idea of a charity pushing me to walk across burning embers in bare feet and believe that charity should be rewarded, then please consider donating to such a worthwhile cause.
Thank you so much.
