The Crew is Back for the 2026 Mayday Mile
That's right, the team is back and even bigger this year! We're thrilled to welcome some new members as we take on the RNLI Mayday Mile challenge this May 2026.
As temperatures rise and more people flock to the coast, the RNLI's courageous volunteers face their busiest season. They are ready to answer the call 24/7, and our team is ready to answer their Mayday call for support once again.
Many of you may remember Helen and Bear, who enthusiastically completed the Mayday Mile back in 2024. In their honour, and to continue the amazing spirit they showed, we walk in their foot and pawsteps, inspired by their memory and a cause that was so beary important to them.
Will you support our challenge and help us make a lifesaving difference in memory of Helen and Bear?
Thank you in advance for any donations you are able to make. No matter how small, every contribution adds up to make a huge difference.
