Firewalk for Cornwall Mind 2022
Newquay, England, United Kingdom
Aim
I will be walking over hot coals to raise money for better mental health in Cornwall. All money raised will go to Cornwall Mind
This Girl is on Fire - She's walking on Fire
Those that know me will tell you that I am an advocate for mental health support and have first hand experience of the vital services that organisations such as Cornwall Mind provide. What they might not know is that I have always wanted to Firewalk....... honestly since I was a kid, I've really wanted to give it a go. I guess I loved the idea of testing myself and seeing if I really could master the 'Mind over Matter' positive mindset required to walk over hot embers.
The Challenge
On Thursday 7th of April I will be walking over hot coals with the breath taking back drop of Newquay's iconic Headland Hotel. To say I'm a little nervous is an understatement but I'm also really excited! All the money raised will go towards supporting the services that Cornwall Mind provide. Ensuring that those experiencing ill-mental health have access to wellbeing services throughout Cornwall "With one in four people experiencing a mental health problem the need for our vital services is at an all time high." - Cornwall Mind
Why Firewalking?
A Firewalk could be the most inspirational journey you ever undertake. It is as the name suggests: a bare foot walk over red-hot wood embers measuring around 800 degrees. No tricks, no special effects. Just you and the fire.
Walking over hot coals/ embers or 'Firewalking' is a real test of your ability to 'overcome' and the power of positivity. Completing this challenge will not only help to raise money for an amazing organisation but hopefully help me on my own journey of mental health and wellbeing. If I can walk over hot coals, I can do anything! It will be an experience that will stay with me for a lifetime. "The skills and positive belief systems one adopts during a Firewalk seminar are applicable to all areas of life. When an individual Firewalks, an increased awareness of how to achieve goals develops, along with an enhanced view of the potential to succeed." - Time4Change
