Last Friday was a night to remember as Pareto Financial Planning, alongside our fantastic friends at Unibox, took on a challenge that pushed us out of our comfort zones—walking barefoot across burning embers to raise vital funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust. It wasn’t just about conquering fire; it was about igniting our collective spirit for a cause that matters deeply.

Overcoming the Flames

Organised with the expertise of Olivia Beardsmore from Firebird Firewalks, the event wasn’t merely about walking across a fiery path. It was a powerful reminder of the strength we hold within when guided by determination and the right mindset. Olivia’s motivational session prepared us for the challenge, teaching us to focus, trust ourselves, and channel our courage—a lesson that resonates far beyond the fire walk itself.

A Collective Effort

A huge thank you goes out to Joanne Walsh for organising this memorable event and to our hosts, Unibox, for creating such a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. The evening wasn’t just about the daring act; it was filled with camaraderie, laughter, and an unwavering sense of purpose. It showcased what can be achieved when people come together for a greater good.

Making an Impact

Together, we raised an incredible £3,000 for the Teenage Cancer Trust. These funds will help provide life-changing care and support for young people facing cancer, ensuring they don’t have to face their journey alone.

For those who wish to contribute to this great cause, the opportunity to donate is still open through our JustGiving page. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a meaningful difference in supporting young individuals facing the tough journey of cancer.

Charity background

The Teenage Cancer Trust is a leading charity dedicated to providing specialised care and support to young individuals diagnosed with cancer. With a mission to ensure that no young person faces cancer alone, the charity offers a range of services, including specialised nursing care, support programs, and dedicated spaces for young cancer patients.

Providing services at hospitals in our local community including The Christie, Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital and Alder Hey makes the charities important and much needed work even more special.

“We are thrilled to announce the Teenage Cancer Trust as our Charity of the Year. The overwhelming support from our staff reflects the genuine commitment of Pareto Financial Planning to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need,” said Jen Macfarlane, Marketing Manager at Pareto Financial Planning.
