We are doing the Mayday-Mile in Memory of my Step-Mum Janina (Nanny) and my Mum (Grandma Chris)

Myself and my two boys George and William are taking part in the RNLI Mayday Mile to fundraise for this amazing charity which was very close to the hearts of both my Step-Mum and my Mum.

My Step-Mum Janina would visit every single lifeboat station within any conceivable reach when away on holiday, along with the RNLI shop… she would often visit multiple times too!  She also had a personal devotion to the Porthcawl RNLI and their shop which she visited and supported “very” frequently.

My Mum also supported the RNLI by donating every month for more than 20 years to this amazing charity so this challenge will be in memory of them both.

The Shannon Class Lifeboat stationed at Wells in Norfolk called “RNLI Duke of Edinburgh” has Janina’s name etched into the decals of the wheelhouse in her memory so she is even out at sea with them every time it launches… The boys affectionately call it “Nanny’s Boat”. 

Despite having an incredibly poorly foot that is awaiting surgery, I am going to walk my mile a day (or maybe hobble as I believe that’s also allowed!) 
George and William plan to do most of their miles by running around the Recreation Ground in our village - it’s already been mapped out that four laps is one mile! They will also walk with me when they can and are super-excited to be involved to help raise much-needed funds for this invaluable life-saving charity. 

We’ll keep you posted with our progress along the way so look out for our updates and wish us luck! 

If you are able to donate, no matter how small, it will be so very gratefully received. 

Love from “The Walker-Spensleys” Xx
