Friends of the Beatson Staff Team Firewalking
We've always said that we would walk over hot coals to improve the lives of in-patients with cancer having chemotherapy or radiotherapy - now we really are going to!
The firewalk event takes place over the course of an evening. A large fire - usually around 1.5 cubic metres of hardwood logs - will be lit around 7.30pm. Over the course of the next 2 to 2 ½ hours the fire burns at approximately 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. When the fire has burned down to a large pile of hot coals, they will be raked out into a pathway of around 6-8 feet in length, and we will choose our own moment to walk barefoot over the fire.
The experience is not just a dramatic feat of courage and commitment but we will have achieved something remarkable as a team, and raised money to help others!
