We hope you will consider joining the courageous fundraisers who are taking part in our 2014 sponsored event!
Crunch time challenge
Learn the art of calmness in the face of adversity and raise money for pioneering work against domestic abuse in a sponsored barefoot walk over razor-sharp broken glass.
On Friday September 5th 2014, Equation is offering its intrepid supporters the opportunity to do a sponsored walk with a difference… Could you be among them?
What is the glass-walking challenge?
A barefoot walk across 15ft of razor sharp glass shards made from 2000 broken bottles.
Why should I do it?
This is an inspirational and barrier-breaking experience for you, while raising money for a fantastic cause. You will feel motivated, empowered, and inspired to face your fears. Given the type of event, donors often offer higher sponsorship than you would get for a normal sponsored walk or sports challenge, so it’s a fantastic way to support Equation.
Is it safe?
We have chosen to work with glass-walking experts Blaze because of their impeccable professional background; they will get you through the event in complete safety. Blaze have over 20 years’ experience and a 100% safety record.
Do I need to do any preparation?
No! This is a real challenge of technique – it’s proper sharp glass, not sugar glass! – but no prior training or experience is necessary: glass-walkers will be taught expertly to guide themselves safely across the razor-sharp shards in a training seminar.
Great! What do I need to know to sign up?
The minimum age is 14 years. Parental consent is required for 14-17 year olds. There is no upper age limit.
You need to be free on the evening of Friday 5th September, from approximately 6.30 to 8.30pm.
The Glasswalk will be held in a central Nottingham location.
The entry fee is just £25 and we ask that each supporter raise a minimum in sponsorship of £100. Fundraising packs and instructions on how to collect your sponsorship will be provided after registration, along with a fantastic Equation supporters t-shirt.
If you’re interested, please get in touch with our fundraiser Chloe. fundraising@equation.org.uk / 01159 623 237. We’ll send you an information pack and registration form. We look forwards to hearing from you!
