Feeling hot, hot, hot at charity fire walk
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.
