It’s time to face the flames and put your bravery to the test by taking on our adrenaline fuelled challenge – the FIREWALK! Celebrate Bonfire Night at our Hospice in Basingstoke and walk on hot coals while raising funds for our patients and their families!
Our sponsored FIREWALK is the perfect excuse to step out of your comfort zone as you walk barefoot over red-hot embers. Firewalking has been used for centuries to test physical and mental limits and explore the relationship between fear, fire, and belief.
Get your friends and family to sponsor you to take on this breath-taking challenge – raising vital funds for your local Hospice.
On the night, you‘ll meet with a fire walking expert from Firewalking UK who’ll be offering top tips and training, ensuring that you take on your challenge without experiencing pain or injury. All you need to bring is your game face and plenty of courage!
Following your walk, you will receive a glass of Prosecco, medal and a special FIREWALK certificate.
With only 80 places available, don’t miss out on your chance to take part!
