Local thrill-seekers are being invited to take part in a charity fire walk challenge, which is taking place in Leicester later this year.
The challenge is taking place in St Peter’s Square, Highcross on Friday, September 22.
After being trained by Scott Bell (Twice Guinness World Record holder for the greatest distance walked on fire), participants will then walk across hot coals with a temperature over 1000 degrees Fahrenheit to raise funds for Vista – Leicestershire’s sight loss charity.
The event will be hosted by UK Firewalk, which is described as one of the UK ‘s leading firewalking companies.
Libby Clegg, Community Fundraiser at Vista took part in the challenge last year.
“This is your chance to take on an exciting challenge – conquering the coals – and help those affected by sight loss in Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland,” she said.
“With your help, we can continue to provide life-changing services and vital support for people with sight loss.”
