MLA Harry Harvey Bravely Turns Up the Heat by Taking on Air Ambulance NI Charity Firewalk

The charity event, which will take place on Stormont grounds, will see Harry join a team of local supporters and volunteers to face the fiery challenge, all in the name of raising awareness and vital funds for Air Ambulance NI. This charity, that requires £2.5m per year, plays a crucial role in saving lives by providing fast, effective, and highly specialized medical care in emergency situations, often when time is of the essence.

Harry, who has long been an advocate for community-based healthcare services, was quick to sign up for the Firewalk, recognizing the importance of supporting Air Ambulance NI's mission to improve the outcomes of patients in critical need.

Harry said, "Taking part in this Firewalk is a small but symbolic gesture to show my support for the incredible work done by Air Ambulance NI.  The charity’s team is saving lives every day, and the Firewalk is an exciting way to raise funds to help them continue their vital work. I encourage everyone to get behind this important cause – whether by donating, signing up to take part, or simply spreading the word."

Air Ambulance NI relies entirely on public donations and fundraising efforts to keep its helicopter in the air and provide critical care to those in life-threatening situations. The funds raised from the Firewalk event will go directly towards ensuring the service remains operational, offering rapid-response medical treatment when and where it’s needed most.

The event promises to be a thrilling, high-energy occasion, with participants stepping up to the challenge to walk across coals that will heat up to over 500°F. The walk is not only a test of physical endurance but also an opportunity for individuals to confront their fears, all while supporting an extraordinary cause.

Local residents, community groups, and businesses are encouraged to join the Firewalk, show their support for Harry and all the participants, and contribute to the fundraising effort for Air Ambulance NI.
