Walking on hot coals for Rainbows in Northamptonshire
Participants will walk 15ft barefoot over coals which are 1,200 degrees fahrenheit
Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People has a brand new event and is asking if people in Northamptonshire can handle the heat!
The charity is staging its Northampton Firewalk on Saturday, October 14 at Northampton Casuals Rugby Football Club, between 5.45pm and 9pm.
Participants will walk 15ft barefoot over coals which are 1,200 degrees fahrenheit.
Scott Bell, of UK Firewalk and double Guinness World Record holder for the greatest distance walked on fire, will complete a pre-walk briefing session ensuring participants have the skills and confidence to tackle the challenge.
Claire Hoggan, Rainbows events fundraiser, said: “Our Northampton Firewalk will give you an unbelievable experience, which will get your heart racing and your adrenaline running.
"Firewalking is the art of walking through burning coals without getting burned, transforming your fear and inspiring you to do things you didn’t think were possible.
“With your friends and family at the side cheering you on, this really is a fantastic opportunity to test your mind over matter, while putting your best foot forward for Rainbows.”
All money raised at the event will go to the invaluable care that Rainbows provides for more than 300 babies, children and young people with terminal or serious illnesses, and their families, at the hospice, at home or in hospital.
The entry fee is £20 with a minimum sponsorship target of £100.
No previous experience is needed and firewalkers must be 11-years or older to take part.
