ZSL invite fund-raisers to brave coals to raise campaign cash
Fearless fund-raisers are being invited to prowl through fire to help raise cash to protect endangered Asiatic lions.
The Zoological Society of London (ZSL) is calling for those brave enough to sign up for a fire walking event being held at London Zoo on Thursday, November 20 to support their Lions400 campaign.
The campaign aims to raise £5.7m to create the new state-of-the-art lion breeding centre and 'Land of the Lions' exhibit at ZSL London Zoo, as well extend vital conservation work in India where only 400 Asiatic lions are left in the wild.
Fund-raisers will attend a 'Nothing is Impossible' seminar before stepping out to face the flames around 8pm, while family, friends and spectators can take a torch-lit tour of the zoo.
Fire walk and spectator tickets must be booked by 5pm on Thursday, November 20, with limited places available. Entrants must be aged 18 or over to take part in the fire walk - visit www.zsl.org/firewalk for more information and to register.
