Brave members of the IMM team have successfully completed the Befriend a Child Firewalk!
Ashleigh McDonald, Sarah Pettigrew, Carolyn MacIntosh and Jordan Campbell were our courageous participants who stepped across the hot coals – and we are pleased to report that their feet emerged unscathed.
The brilliant fundraising event saw over £5,500 raised for the charity.
Befriend a Child is supported by a team of volunteer befrienders and mentors who spend time on a 1:1 basis with children and young people in our communities across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. The work of the volunteers has such a positive impact on the young lives they support.
Before the official walk and as part of the planning, Ashleigh, Sarah, Carolyn and Jordan had to break a wooden arrow using only their necks!
Thank you to Befriend a Child – we all really enjoyed the event and the whole experience.
Thank you also to Lee Walls at Firewalk Scotland, who was absolutely fabulous throughout the event at Aberdeen Science Centre.
