Friday, 11am - IT MAY have been wet and windy … but the weekend was hot, hot, hot for a number of those at Boston Rugby Club's fireworks night.
For around 70 daredevils had pledged their souls to a charity fire walk on Saturday … stomping across a 20ft bed of red-hot burning wood embers.
The challenge, held at the Princess Royal Sports Arena, was in aid of the Butterfly Hospice Trust, which dreams of building a bed hospice in the town.
"Despite the weather the night was absolutely fantastic," said Jane Parson, from the trust. "I would like to thank everyone who took part and raised a fabulous amount of money."
Around £10,000 was raised from sponsorship. Special recognition was given to the greatest fundraisers with the company title going to
Mehmet Bahadir hairdressers with £1,130 and the individual award went to Steve Andrews who collected a staggering £1,093.
