If you have a burning desire to challenge yourself in 2025, hot foot it to the Solent Hotel in Whiteley on Thursday 27 March and conquer the coals at Wessex Cancer Support’s firewalk. Every penny raised will help to support local people affected by cancer.
Blaze Firewalking, one of the UK’s leading firewalk companies, will start the night with an Overcoming Fear seminar and giving participants full training before leading them across 20 feet of hot coals heated to over 1000°F.
Mike Andrews, who has volunteered for the cancer charity for more than 30 years and conquered its 2023 firewalk, said:
“As a volunteer, I see first-hand the many ways Wessex Cancer Support is there for local people affected by cancer. The charity relies on donations and people signing up for events like this to continue its vital work. When I was given the opportunity to try firewalking I leapt at the chance and would urge anyone looking for a challenge to give it a go. You won’t regret it!”
Registration is £20, with discounts for teams of five and ten. The charity is asking participants to raise a minimum of £100 per person in sponsorship. To find out more and book, visit wessexcancer.org.uk/event/firewalk-2025
