I am taking part in an event for work, started as a personal goal to get healthier but thought why not try make a difference at the same time. We are now a team of 10 and I am definitely one of the new runners mentioned below

YMCA Fylde Coast Takes on the Blackpool Half Marathon to Support Housing Services

This April, a dedicated team from YMCA Fylde Coast will lace up their running shoes and hit the iconic Blackpool Promenade to participate in the Blackpool Half Marathon. But they’re not just running for the thrill – they’re running to make a difference. Every step will help raise vital funds for our YMCA Housing Services, supporting individuals facing homelessness across the Fylde Coast.

Why We’re Running

At YMCA Fylde Coast, we believe that everyone deserves a safe and secure place to call home. Our housing services provide essential support to individuals experiencing homelessness or at risk of losing their homes. From offering emergency accommodation to providing long-term support for independent living, we are committed to rebuilding lives and restoring hope.
