Brave 'sole ' to support hospice care

Birmingham St Mary 's Hospice and John Taylor Hospice are asking firms to gather their 'coal 'leagues to take on a Firewalk on Saturday 16 October at the Sedgemere Club in Sheldon.

Every sizzling step taken will help raise vital funds for individuals living with life limiting illness and their families across Birmingham.

Maria Goodwin, community campaigns and digital fundraising manager at The Hospice Charity Partnership, said: “We are excited to be able to put on our events in person again, and have this red-hot challenge for individuals, groups and companies to take part in.

“It is a great team building opportunity that will be a memorable evening for all, giving people the opportunity to walk bare foot on hot coals! After a challenging year, the funds raised will ensure that we can continue to provide vital care to those who need it most across Birmingham. ”

Scott Bell, who is twice holder of the Guinness World Record for the greatest fire walking distance and is internationally known as one of the world 's leading experts on fire walking, will be leading the evening.

Training will be given ahead of the daredevil challenge.

There is a registration fee of £25 and participants are asked to raise £75 in sponsorship.

Birmingham St Mary 's and John Taylor Hospices merged to form The Hospice Charity Partnership, providing expert palliative and end of life care to people and their families living with life-limiting illnesses.

Offering personalised support at home, in local communities or at the hospices, the charity partnership helps people across Birmingham to live well with their illness, right up to the very end of life.
