Brave fundraisers will be walking over hot coals in aid of hospice care.
The charity challenge has been organised by ellenor and is taking place at Princes Park Stadium, in Dartford tonight (Friday).
Around 40 people have signed up for the event, which is sponsored by Elite Aesthetics. The clinic in Greenhithe also has a team of people taking part.
Participants will have to attend a safety briefing before getting ready to cross the coals in their bare feet.
The temperature of the burning embers will be up to 550C.
During the evening there will be live music from The Big Sing choir as well as stalls and food on sale.
Community fundraiser Emma Bowles said: "We are hoping to raise around £10,000. It is the fifth year we have done the event and we have more people signed up this year."
The money raised will go towards hospice care for people living in Gravesend, Dartford and Swanley at ellenor's base in Coldharbour Road, Gravesend or in their own homes.
