St Davids Day Firewalk for 150 Miss Wales
2008 Semi-Finalists
Around 150 young Welsh
women celebrated St David’s Day with a walk barefoot
over burning coals as part of the Miss Wales 2008 semi-final.
The girls – all in the
running to become Miss Wales 2008 – undertook the firewalk
as part pf the competition’s semi-final at Bryn Meadows
Hotel, Golf and Spa near Caerphilly.
In the run up to the challenge
the women also did several other motivational exercises
throughout the day including breaking wooden boards
with their bare hands and bending iron rods with their
necks.
Event organiser, Paula
Abbandonato of Vibe Models, said: “These may not
be the sorts of exercises traditionally associated with
the beauty pageant but nowadays so many young women
are interested in the Miss Wales competition, that we
believe we have an opportunity and a responsibility
to do something special.

“The motivational masterclass provided them with
the chance to look at themselves, their dreams and their ambitions
and to aim for new heights in their lives. The firewalk itself
is a metaphor for self-belief. If you think you can, you will!”
