WE'VE DONE IT!!!!!!!

We sprinted over the finish line at the Red Lion in Bispham at 4pm this afternoon. What a day! The support we received along the route kept us going and at points we were running with the agility of 30/40 year olds.

With 2 miles to go, the feeling of relief from learning that Fylde Coast Metals buy scrap metal was priceless. The sign above it was also pretty welcoming!

Welcome to Blackpool on Garstang Road
We'll do a full review tomorrow but for now, we'd just like to send out a massive thank you to all those who have pledged, donated and supported us over the last 7 days.

This is a chapter of our lives which will never be forgotten and we are grateful that you were able to join  us on our journey.

Our total fund for charity currently stands at around £8,000 which is a phenomenal achievement. Please, please, please help us get to £10,000 by reminding those who haven't contributed that their donations, no matter how small, will help Brian House and Cancer Research.

For those that can make it, we look forward to seeing you tonight at the Norbreck Bowling and Tennis Club and for those who wont be there, we look forward to thanking you in person for your support in the coming weeks.

Time for a well earned cold beer!!!!

A very tired Steve and Andy.

  1. Well done guys!

    You have both done amazing to overcome such a massive challenge, one that I don't think either of you will EVER consider doing again!

    You are both such an inspiration to soooo many people. What you have done will positively affect so many lives.

    It was a privilege to run part of the last marathon with you both, yet emotional to see 2 people I hold in high regard in soooooooo much pain - at this stage, even curbs were a mammoth task!

    Once again, well done to you both!!
