Sports Club sponsor Firewalker!

A member of Aycliffe Sports Club is putting his best feet forward in a daredevil charity stunt.

Alan Shields will take part in a fundraising Firewalk at the Cobblers Hall pub this Saturday in aid of Daisy Chain.

Cobblers staff and regulars will walk over hot stones and coals to raise cash for the North-East charity.

"It's a bit of fun but will hopefully raise a lot of good money for a very worthy cause," said 52-year-old Alan, a fork-lift driver for Magnet in Darlington, who is being sponsored by the Sports Club, at Moore Lane.

"I like to do whatever I can for children's charities and when I heard about the Firewalk at the Cobblers I thought, why not?!

"I'm sure there'll be a lot of support at the event and all donations will be gratefully received."

All proceeds from the Firewalk will go to Daisy Chain, a Norton-based charity which provides support and respite care for families and children with autism.
