On behalf of all of those affected by a burn injury and the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors we want to take this opportunity to thank Firefighter Mike Manning for his incredible effort related to "Feel the Burn in 2007".
Literally, Mike challenged his body and mind to cross the country by himself and at some points did in deed "feel the burn". He did have challenges, but he fulfilled his goal to raise awareness and funds to support the Phoenix Society's ongoing work for burn survivors.
His efforts were heartfelt and it was contagious. So many were involved along the way and for that, we as an organization are grateful.
It was clear reading the blog that dozens and dozens of people were there to help Mike just as they are when someone suffers a devastating burn injury: The Firefighters, Burn Care Professionals, Burn Support Organizations and the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors.
Together we are stronger - thank you to Mike and family for your time and commitment, and to everyone who made it possible.
From the beginning Mike was never alone! Ultimately that is what we are all working to accomplish - a community - so no one travels the road of burn recovery alone!
Amy Acton Executive Director, Phoenix-Society for Burn Survivors
