Firewalkers (the first version)

Firewalk will be held at the Five Bells Pub on East End Road this weekend to raise funds for specialist patient care.

The event, organised by North London Hospice on Saturday 8 May, will let participants walk over five metres of smouldering coals, measuring over 800 degrees.

Azey Siddiqui, community fundraiser, said: “It’s fundraising with a difference and also allows those who are unable to run or cycle any distance to take part in a major fundraising event.”

Participants will receive one hour motivational talk before the walk starting and spectators will be entertained by live band, Metal Detectors during the event.

The organiser will hold a raffle for walkers and guests with prizes donated by local businesses.

The registration is £30 and with no minimum sponsorship.

Walkers can register online on www.northlondonhospice.org.uk or contact Fundraising on 020 8446 2288.
