Christie charity news

Brave soles In October we held our Firewalk event at Macclesfield Town

Hall where brave participants bared their soles and walked barefoot across hot embers in support of The Christie.

Feet of flames: Dr Andrew Sykes prepares to walk across hot embers

The event was raising money for The Christie at Macclesfield appeal and was led by Dr Andrew Sykes who is the lead doctor for this appeal. Dr Sykes began the evening by lighting the fire ready for the challenge ahead and after a short training session was the first person to lead the group over the hot embers. A firewalk is designed to help overcome fear and to inspire people to do things they didn't think possible. The evening was a great success and was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone taking part and to date it has raised over £14,000.
