Charity fire walk comes to Harrogate this weekend
A charity fire walk is set to take place in Harrogate this weekend.
Local volunteers plan to walk barefoot across a bed of red-hot embers to support bone cancer patients.
The feat will take place at the Cedar Court Hotel on Saturday, March 9 at 6pm to raise money for Bone Cancer Research Trust, a national charity based in Leeds that supports patients and funds research. It hopes the event will raise £6,000.
Anyone aged 14 or older can sign up to take part and will receive full training from a professional fire walker before stepping on the coals.
Leah Holmes, challenge events fundraising officer at the trust, said:
Pagi Batkhuyag, events manager at Cedar Court Hotels Group, said:
Hotel manager Oliver Stott added:
The event is only the second fire walk the trust has hosted. The first was in Kidderminster last year, which raised £8,000.
Taking part costs £20 and you can do so here.
