Clan Orkney Firewalk planned for 2025
Clan Cancer Support is looking for thrill seekers in Orkney to bare their soles as part of a daring fundraising challenge in March 2025.
The charity is hosting a fire-walk at the Orkney Rugby Club with participants walking barefoot over two metres of burning embers, reaching temperatures of around 500 degrees Celsius.
The event is due to take place on Saturday, March 29, with all proceeds used to help the charity provide free services for people impacted by cancer across north-east Scotland, Moray, Orkney and Shetland.
Clan has provided emotional and physical support from its Orkney centre for more than 16 years with services including listening support, complementary therapies, support groups and dedicated children and family services.
Karen Farquhar, Clan Orkney’s area services coordinator, said: “We’re thrilled that the experts at Firewalk Scotland are bringing Clan’s Firewalk to Orkney for the first time, and I look forward to seeing the community come together for our most adventurous challenge yet.
“This is a unique and fun team activity and it’s also an opportunity for individuals to empower themselves and tick off a bucket list item with all the money raised helping to support local people impacted by a cancer diagnosis.”
Clan is coordinating the event in partnership with Fire Walk Scotland with the organisation providing a 90-minute briefing session ahead of the activity and health and safety support available to participants throughout the evening.
The event will take place from 6pm – 9pm on Saturday, March 29, at Orkney Rugby Club, with the bar open for refreshments during the event. Spectators are encouraged and are welcome to attend.
Registration for the event costs £30 per person with a minimum sponsorship of £120 required to take part.
