Some of you know, some of you may not be as aware, my wife and I are soon to be adopting children. Throughout the process of assessment and matching, we have been struck down by the conditions and treatment that some children have to endure prior to being placed in care, and so all my ongoing charity fundraising for the foreseeable future is with the amazing children’s charities that help these children find homes and get the protection they require.

In addition to running 3 marathons in a row early next year, I have organised a one-off, one day fundraising seminar that is going to be incredibly useful to any hypnosis professional. it is on Wednesday the 8th of May 2013.

We have a limited number of spaces due to the nature of the seminar and the firewalk event and the space we have for it all.

Please note, that in order to register for this event, you have to visit my charity page and sponsor me £67.00 first. You can only register for this event upon successful completion of that sponsorship. This event is exceptional value and the hotel have granted us use of the facilities to support this event, and Jill and I are both being paid nothing whilst investing a great deal of time and effort.

Visit: http://www.justgiving.com/AdamDEason and sponsor today, then add your name to the numbers. Let me know once your sponsorship has gone through and I’ll confirm your place with us on this day.

The seminar will see Jill Harrington teach half a day on counselling skills for hypnotherapists and I will teach about hypnotherapy for children before we round things off with a firewalk. Here is the event described in detail:
