Blackpool Night Run

Thank you to everyone who took part in this year’s Night Run!
Pay in sponsorship here, referencing ‘Night Run’ (if you have used JustGiving, please note that this will close in a couple of weeks and the money will come straight to us)
On Wednesday 28th August, we welcomed 4,000 runners to Blackpool Promenade for the Fylde coast’s biggest fun run!
Blackpool Night Run is now in it’s fifth year, helping to raise vital funds for Brian House Children’s Hospice.
Brian House is the only children’s hospice on the Fylde coast and helps to care for babies, children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions.
Our hospice costs £1.9m to run, with only a small amount of that being funded by Government. That’s why events like Night Run are so important. Money raised through sponsorship and donations play an enormous part in covering our costs, and help ensure our services continue to run year on year.
If every runner can donate or raise a minimum of £30.00, we this event could raise an incredible £120,000 for Brian House. This would allow us to not only run our life-changing services, but develop new ones; allowing us to be there for even more families on the Fylde coast.
Thank you to everyone who took part, raised sponsorship and gave a donation.
Don’t forget, it’s never too late!
We’re giving away a Garmin watch to one lucky person who raises or donates £100 more. Find out more!
