YMCA Firewalk
YMCA Manchester is celebrating a successful Firewalk event that saw 33 brave souls walk barefoot across 20 feet of red hot embers burning at 1236 degrees Fahrenheit to support young people across Manchester and Salford.
YMCA Manchester Chief Executive, Mike Gandy, said: “Our inaugural Firewalk has been a huge success. Witnessing first-hand the commitment and energy of staff and volunteers who rallied for the YMCA Manchester cause has been nothing short of inspiring.”
“Thank you to everyone who got involved. The money raised will all be spent on developing our youth and community projects which make a real difference to the lives of young people from all over Manchester and Salford.”
YMCA Manchester celebrated its 170th birthday last yearand we are proud to offer holistic services that support young people in the area. The Firewalk is just one of a number of brilliant fundraising events on offer designed to raise awareness of our work, and further details can be found at www.ymcamanchester.org.uk
