IN WHAT HAS TO BE THE MOST NOVEL FUND-RAISING SCHEME YET TRIED by an emergency squad, the London Air Ambulance in London, England, is hosting a fire-walking on September 1.
But the helicopter crews aren’t doing the firewalking. Nooooo….they know better than that. They’ll be standing by as good-hearted supporters trod across the blazing coals.
According to The Londonist, “All entrants will receive 2 hours of training from the experts at Blaze Firewalking before they make their way across wood embers burning at 1236 degrees Farenheit. There’s science to explain how this is OK and more than a dollop of zen-like spirituality to tap into should you be that way inclined.”
Wisely, the LAA is holding the event at a pub where folks will be able to effectively build their courage to do this crazy stunt.
Read about how they’re going to pull this off in The Londonist HERE.
London Air Ambulance is the massive metropolis’ sole helicopter medic service and is only funded 50% by the government. They rely on donations to fill out their budgetary needs.
