I’m taking on the Mayday Mile Challenge to support RNLI volunteers

This May, I’m completing a mile-a-day challenge to help RNLI crews save lives at sea.

During summertime, more people flock to beaches and coastal towns to make the most of everything they have to offer – from glorious sunshine to adventurous watersports. And as temperatures rise, so do calls from people in trouble in the water.

By answering this Mayday call and giving a gift today, you can make a real, lifesaving difference. Your kindness will help give volunteers everything they need to launch to the rescue, and make sure they’re ready to face their busiest season.

Will you sponsor my RNLI Mayday Mile Challenge and support the courageous crews?

First mile

Delayed start due to dance show rehearsals and then weekend of shows

Nick is away at RNLI college this week but Mary and I made the most of a sunny evening clocking up our first mile walk on beach

Hello

Thursday 10th Apr

Oliver, Mary, Nick and I are challenging ourselves to cover 31 miles in May.

Nick is a volunteer crew, mechanic and LPO at Scarborough. Having heard the pager go many times now, it seems more important than ever to do what we can to support the RNLI.

The RNLI has answered mayday calls for nearly 200 years, from those called from sinking fishing boats, to families swimming on busy beaches, to dog walkers cut off by the tide. It's the most urgent plea, used by mariners when life is in immediate danger and when their lifesavers hear those words they launch courageously into the unknown to help those who rely on their help. This May, as summer approaches, they're the ones sending out a mayday call. As we look forward to 2025 and beyond, they know that they'll be facing the busiest summer season for the lifesavers to come. And to keep them safe, ready and knowing they can handle whatever the summer brings, they need our help. They're counting on us to answer their call and take on the Mayday Mile. Our support will help the crew stand strong as our busiest summer season approaches.
