FEARLESS fundraisers are being asked to brave burning hot coals to raise cash for Ardgowan Hospice. 

The local charity will be holding its first ever firewalking event at Greenock Wanderers' Fort Matilda clubhouse on October 27.

Those who take part will be given a guided preparation talk by members of Firewalk Scotland's team before they walk the hot coals. 

Friends and family are also welcome to attend the event. 

The hospice will be releasing further information about places and the fundraising challenge in the near future. 

Those wishing to take part can register their interest by emailing fundraising@ardgowanhospice.org or visiting https://ardgowanhospice.org.uk/firewalk/
