TALK about going the extra mile - more than 800 women went the extra two miles to help raise a staggering £80,000 for the East Lancashire Hospice back in 2010.
They were taking part in the fourth Starlight Walk which had been extended by two miles.
Leaving the DW Soccerdome in Blackburn at 10pm, bedecked in their red hospice T-shirts the walkers were a sight to behold.
Organiser Sharon Crymble of the Park Lee Road, Blackburn, hospice, said: “It was a brilliant night, absolutely fantastic. It really makes a huge difference to the running of the hospice
“The first people started coming back at about 12.30am, and the last at 2.30am.
“The weather was good, and at 10pm everything started to become a bit cooler, so that helped a lot.
“We had water tables out over the course, and the worst problem was a few blisters I think!”
