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.
David, sorry to hear about that. I'll mail you my PayPal.
Cheers Dave, donation sent.
Thanks David. I've paid it across now and also huge thanks to bat king and my fine compadre.
Well done Dave.
Donation sent.
Happy to donate to a worthy cause, but have to ask: Who's the slim bearded man in the strip meant to be?...
Just catching up with stuff and seen that I owe even more people thanks.
You guys are fantastic, even Dunk! :)
I'll be sure to donate when I get home tonight - one question though - Who's that handsome chap in the strip, I thought it was YOU doing the firewalk? ;)
Holocaust Squad-in-training - donation sent!
I sent a wee note, Bolt.
Cheers
Could I have that paypal link as well sir - ?
I want to donate!
CFM- email on its way. And my thanks, too.
Bump.
Done! us proud feet types must stick together
I'm in!
Don't forget the fire resistant socks! You're allowed those, right?
I Wish. The little bolts have already been making plenty of jokes that involve the smell of crackling or burning hair...
Thanks again to everyone who has donated- I really am grateful and have already well passed my initial estimate.
Bump. Just a wee reminder folks
I'm getting payed this Friday Bolt, so i'll pop in a bit of dosh to a worthy cause this time next week. ;)
Thought I'd give this a bump in case anyone was interested. Thanks again to all of you who have helped so far, and every donation helps.
bumpity bump
Done and a bump.
And a huge thanks to both you and Oopsie Daisy. Please claim your hugs when next we meet.
can I trade two hugs for a pint?
Even the conservative party are donating :lol:
Donated, bumped, and I think you've reached your target!
Cheers Greg! That let me tweak the target slightly. I'm now just over 24 hours away from this, so if there is anyone out there who has been waiting till the last minute to donate- you are nearly too late!
I'll hopefully have the youtube link on here early next week, too.
Cheers all!
Done and *bump*.
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?
Got a text from the Bolt-01 machine earlier confirming he'd successfully traversed the deadly fire pit - well done, my friend!
This just in ...
Rac is correct. What wan amazing experience. I'm aching from head to toe but the rush from getting Across is amazing. Photos tomorrow, along with some hopefully zarjaz video. Cheers all
All hail Bolt-01, master of the flames!
Cheers
Jim
Well done Bolt. Excellent work !
Congrats Bolt :D You are the master of flame!

Toe I can imagine, but head?
Did you start breakdancing in the middle?
Well done that man!

You need to photoshop a DeLorean into that pic.

I am unemployed.
Hang on a second, the fire was down the sides of that path and you seemed to miss every single flame ::)
DUDE you FOOKING rock! Well I knew that already but this is fabulous duder xxxxxxx
Cheers all, it truly was epic and I was proud to be a part of it.
Owen- that is mental.

Wish I had one of those...my feet are freezing right now. Well done Bolt...that's pretty damn cool!...or hot as the case may be.
Well done that man!
Sponsor monies gladly given.
At least 1 pint's on me at the next con.
Dunk!
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.)
Tord, you are a gentleman and I thank you.
