Mike Hunt Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Fellow Wandererswayers, I am looking for your support again please. 8 weeks today I will be doing my first ever half marathon along the front at Blackpool to raise funds for Sense. Sense are completely reliant on charity donations to exist and provide the support they give to families like us. Erin, my youngest daughter, is registered Deafblind and the support we are given by Sense is invaluable to us as a family. From help, support and advice through to organising sibling weekends for Abbie to attend and spend time with other kids in the same positions, right through to legal advice and support such as our recent battle on school placing. I know everyone has their own favoured charity with good reason, if you could find even just a couple of pound to support this fantastic organisation it will be greatly appreciated and will certainly help me around the 13 miles. Thank you https://www.justgiving.com/Mike-Gregson2 Quote

birch-chorley Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 I did that half marathon a few years back, it's painful running the wrong way past the finish line at the half way point. Windy as fuck too when I did it, good luck mate Quote
Big City Girl Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Good luck. If it's sunny I might come and watch! Quote

birch-chorley Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Iam thinking of doing it birch what is the course like.? Flat as a pancake mate Start at the Hilton near North pier, all the way down the front past pleasure beach as far as squires gate lane, turn around and go all the way back past the Hilton up to Cleeveleys, turn around and back down the front to the Hilton. Decent course, be quick if the wind isn't too bad Quote
