Firey fundraising

Christie Mitchell raised £265 for Dyslexia Scotland. She was inspired by her son Parker to do a sponsored fire walk. Christie said: “As a dyslexic learner he has to face challenges every day in school. He is such a determined, amazing boy and I wanted to show him how much I value his efforts and hard work. I wanted to put myself in his shoes by coming out of my comfort zone and facing fear head on.

“I also teach in a Scottish secondary school with many amazing young dyslexic learners.
They come in every day and metaphorically walk over fire, putting 100 percent into their learning despite finding it very difficult at times. So this was to inspire them to keep going!”
