When I lived in Japan a few years ago I met a wonderful British girl who I still keep up with despite our great distance. Last month she sent out a mass email telling family and friends that she was participating in a fire walk for charity.

From anyone else I might have questioned it, but this sounded right up her alley. The cause she is supporting is a local British charity, Victim Support, a cause that she holds dear to her heart.

So of course I had to throw a few quid her way!

It is very encouraging to me that all around the world people are volunteering their time towards great causes, and moreover, that my friends are among them.

I can’t wait to see the pictures of her walking on fire, and I know that on all of them she will have a huge smile on her face. I’m not sure if, in the land of perpetual lawsuits, Americans would ever hold this type of fundraiser, but I thik it is a great and innovative way to get people interested in giving their time to raise money.

Cheers mate! I’ll be thinking of you.
