A York hotel manager wasn’t going to let a case of cold feet stop her taking part in an event for a local charity. (Sunday, October 10)
For Best Western Monkbar Hotel’s June Nelsey was one of scores of brave individuals who walked on hot coals to raise money for Caroline’s Rainbow Foundation.
The mind-over-matter event, which took place in the city centre hotel’s car park, was organised by fire walking instructor Lisa Clifford.
June said: “This had to be the scariest fund-raising event I have ever taken part in. Lisa ensured I was in the right frame of mind and that I was totally focused on the challenge ahead.
“Thank goodness I didn’t lose my concentration and walked over the red hot coals without getting any burns to my feet. If I had cold feet before the challenge, I certainly didn’t by the end of it!”
Caroline’s Rainbow Foundation is a registered charity in the UK which sets out to raise the awareness of the importance of personal safety amongst young travelers, gap year students and backpackers by recognising and prioritising life’s values.
The charity was founded by her family after the tragic death of Caroline Stuttle in 2002 in Bundaberg, Australia whilst backpacking in her gap year.
