Firewalking For Charity
Fire-walking has been performed all over the world for centuries. It has in recent decades become popular both with New Age followers and as corporate “team-building exercises”. The scientific explanations for the general lack of burning include the low conductivity of the wood embers/coals used and the “Leidenfrost effect”.
The rational explanations, however, didn’t make the prospect of walking across something red and fiery any less daunting.
The event is in aid of the Irish Cancer Society and Children in Hospital in Ireland. Two VERY worthy Charities. It will take place at the Landsdowne Hotel in Ballsbridge @ 6pm on the 27th of September. My aim is to walk across fiery coals and of course raise some money for charity. There is an online form available on http://www.icai.ie/media/firewalk.cfm and your support would be appreciated greatly.
