ARE you daredevil enough to walk 20ft over burning hot coals to raise money for a good cause?
You can do it by taking part in Epilepsy Scotland’s charity Firewalk at Xpm on Sunday 29 September 2013 at its Glasgow office on 48 Govan Road.
Trailblazing volunteers will brave six metres of 1,200°F embers after just two hours of training. Cheered on by family and friends, firewalkers know every step achieves their goal – and funds vital support for the 54,000 children and adults living with epilepsy in Scotland.
Services manager, Debbie MacKinnon, who took part for the first time last year said: “I couldn’t believe how much I enjoyed it and wanted to do it again! The atmosphere is energetic and uplifting. It’s such an empowering experience that I’d recommend it to everyone.”
Firewalker registration costs just £20 along with minimum sponsorship of £120. Epilepsy Scotland’s fundraising team can help you reach you reach your target.
