A Guinness World Record attempt has been abandoned in Craigyhill after the builders of the bonfire opted to use the funds to help a sick local girl, rather than build the world’s largest bonfire.
Following a committee meeting on Friday, a decision was made to cancel the attempt after the builders heard about Pia Grace, a young girl from Larne who is going through difficult cancer treatment.
Rather than use the money to fund adjudication for Guinness World Records, they felt it would be a better use of fundraising efforts to support Pia and her family in the coming weeks.
