Are you brave enough to walk over fire and broken glass?
The challenge is issued by East Cheshire Hospice which has organised Fire and Ice Walk 2023.
The tea time event is on Thursday, November 9 at a location to be decided. Participants can do both challenges or just one.
The hot coals walk has been a fixture on the fundraising calendar, but now the glass element has been introduced.

Daredevils aged 16 and over can take part and experts will hold a full indoor safety briefing beforehand.
Hospice fundraiser Claire Gorton said: “Walking on burning embers has been a popular activity for Hospice fundraisers and now we’ve added the thrilling option to walk on glass.
“It’s the ultimate mind over matter challenge and for those scared by the prospect, this is the perfect chance to overcome nerves and defeat your fears.”
Participants will receive a t-shirt and certificate. The two walks are £50, with a single entry £30.
Claire said: “The registration fee only covers the cost of the event so we urge supporters to raise additional sponsorship which will go directly towards caring for patients.
“It costs more than £7,500 to keep the Hospice running for one day, so every penny raised is important.
“You can be assured that the impact your support will have on local families who can benefit from Hospice services at one of the most difficult and emotional times will be huge and greatly appreciated.”
