Your £25 registration fee helps cover essential event set‑up and safety costs—it isn’t a donation. The heart of the night is raising money for Cardiac Risk in the Young with our goal of raising money to continue providing heart screenings for local young people aged 14 to 35 years old through the Christopher Cowe Memorial Fund.

By signing up, you’re pledging to invite friends and family to sponsor your firewalk. We’ll use one shared fundraising page to show the power of our collective effort, and every pound raised will be ring fenced through Christopher's fund for local heart screenings.

This is a group effort!

If you can, please aim for £150+ in sponsorship. There’s no individual tracking or minimum—what matters most is how much we raise together.
