I know, I know, I recently buckled my knees doing the Run for Life, but it seems I really am a sucker for a great cause... (I hope you are too!) As now it seems I have agreed to walk over hot coals (as you do).

The Firewalk is on the 5 of December, so I don’t have long, so please don’t delay – dig out those pennies today!

Remember, every little helps ;-)

WHAT IS FIREWALKING?

Firewalking is the act of walking barefoot over a bed of hot wooden coals. A combination of pine, ash and oak is burnt and then broken down into a smooth red hot path of embers. The lane itself is between 15-20ft long and 2-3ft wide. During the course of the burn down the temperature of the fire reaches over 1236° Fahrenheit and when it comes time to walk on the coals the fire lane will be burning at a core temperature of over 400-600° degrees Fahrenheit.

WHAT IS A SPONSORED FIREWALK?

In essence it’s the same as a normal sponsored walk except the event takes place over twenty feet as opposed to twenty miles! The same structure exists and participants seek sponsorship in recognition of such a courageous undertaking.
