Burning coal Firewalk
Thursday 14 November | 6pm-8.30pm
📍 Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art
I’m raising money with this fun and daring challenge in name of my mum Beata Grzelak who has passed away from cancer in January 2024. Maggies centre was part of my mums (and the families) support system during the treatment. This is my way of giving back and celebrating her memory.
Fundraising Target £80

Walking on hot coals, known as fire walking, is an ancient practice in various cultures. Individuals walk barefoot on burning coals, which can reach temperatures up to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. Firewalkers navigate the path without burns or injuries due to the coals’ insulating ash and specific mental and physical techniques. Fire walking demonstrates human resilience and serves as a metaphor for overcoming fears and challenges in life.
