Firewalking Challengers Andy Connolly - Patrick McKnight - Carolyn Pearson - Rebecca Thomas - Joey Aonso - Matt Rowe - Emma Norgett - Nicky Jaggar
Its just one step...But one step on to 20 feet of glowing embers burning at 1200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Its a challenge that is more about overcoming fear than anything else, with every bit of your body telling you that this is not a good idea.
THE CHALLENGER
NAME - Andy Connolly
In 2012, my mum was diagnosed with MS. Its a difficult disease to come to grips with as there is no prognosis but rather every persons experience of it is individual.
Seeing my mum cope with it and remain strong has been such a source of inspiration, particularly as I doubt I would be able to cope so well.
There are so many small things that we take for granted and I can't imagine what it must be like to suffer MS and find it hard to walk.
