Make a Difference In Blackpool
Why Get Involved?
1. Challenge yourself – Run or Cycle for a cause
Races for All Levels – from young runners to experienced athletes, there’s a challenge for everyone!
From coastal runs along the seafront to a variety of Lancashire and Cumbria challenges, our Blackpool events are open to all ages and abilities. Whether you’re a first-time fundraiser or a seasoned athlete, there’s a challenge with your name on it.
2. Make a real difference to Blackpool patients
Support Blackpool Teaching Hospitals – helping adults battling blood cancer across Lancashire and Cumbria.
Your fundraising supports a dedicated clinical research nurse at Blackpool Teaching Hospitals, made possible through a unique community partnership with Booths Supermarkets, giving blood cancer patients across Lancashire and Cumbria access to potentially life-saving clinical trials they might not otherwise reach.

3. Join a community that cares
When you fundraise for Cure Leukaemia in Blackpool, you become part of a growing community of runners, cyclists, and fundraisers brought together by one shared goal: to cure blood cancer.
There’s nothing quite like the buzz of race day in one of England’s most iconic seaside towns, wearing your colours, cheered on by teammates who share your drive, with the fresh Lancashire coast air and the famous Tower on the horizon. But it goes beyond the event itself. Knowing that your efforts are directly funding research that gives real patients across Lancashire and Cumbria more time with the people they love makes every training run, every donation request, every mile completely worth it.
