On September 21st, I'll be taking part in a firewalk to help raise money for a wonderful charity. PHAB (http://www.bhamphabcamps.org.uk/www/home/home.shtml) take disabled and disadvantaged children from all across the region and provide them with an amazing holiday, full of fun, memories and valuable learning experiences.
As you can imagine, times are tough for charities all over, so I feel it's time I did my best to give something back.
MyDonate (https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/davidevans1) is the link you need to visit to help me to raise funds to give my kids a week away from the madness that is my life.
Also- Sour Dough Tharg approves!
I've been here for almost 10 years now, so please prove to me why this is the finest place in the whole web.

Great idea and a great cause,
I have tried to donate a modest amount, it has to be said, but the site dosent seem to like the fact I don't live in the UK and I don't have a postcode, anywhere else I can send a few quid, preferably a PayPal one?
Best of luck with it Dave.

I'll hopefully have the youtube link on here early next week, too.

Oh, crikey, what am I doing?
I've read the science, been reassured by the organisers, but the thought of putting my bare foot onto hot coals is not a pleasant one.
However, at around 7.30 tonight that is what I'll be doing. This is my last call out for sponsors. You folk out there that have already donated are all stars to me, but today is the day. Please, if you want to help me raise money for an amazing charity that takes children with enormously wide ranges of disabilities and gives them all a week they will never forget then simply donate below.

And thanks Tips- if even a small brained dinosaur can remember then I'm touched.

There's a few pence coming your way when we charge up the PayPal later today, Bolt. Burn little piggies, burn! Best of luck, squire.
EDIT: oops, do I detect no PayPal option? Worry not, there must be other means. Or maybe you could PM me your PP details?

You know considering how calloused my feet are perhaps I should have a go... See if I can raise enough money to get Adrian to see a back specialist in the States... I am not happy with the treatment or lack thereof that he is receiving here... ( and if I had money I would have sponsored you to but my application for careers allowance was turned down.)
