BRAVE fundraisers will be literally facing the fire on behalf of premature babies today.

People from west Wiltshire will be amongst those walking across hot embers at Bath Racecourse to raise money for the neo-natal intensive care unit and the CT scanner appeal at the Royal United Hospital, Bath.

Jo Hones, events fundraiser for the appeal, said: "We are delighted so many people from across the region have risen to the challenge and would like to thank them all for their bravery."

The event will take place from 6.30pm but the actual walk will be from 9pm, after those taking part have received two hours training.

Entry is free and spectators are welcome.
