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?

19.05.26

Tuesday 19th May
Just after half way through the month and after chesterfield 10KM on Sunday (ended in PB (51:12) on a course with so many hills😆), we’re up to 42 miles covered and £235 raised 
I set out to double the distance and donation the goal if possible, and after receiving a few cash donations from Eileen & Ian Lyons’s & Alec-Jon Steans (these & any others will be uploaded at the end of the month) this leaves me with 20 miles left to cover and £65 left to raise🫡

Thankyou to everyone who has donated,supported & shared my journey so far, the purpose and belief behind my running has inspired an incredible month so far, I truly appreciate it beyond words, I never expected to get this far/raise this much, I just wanted to challenge myself and raise money for something so close to my heart, I know my pops will be up there chuffed to bits with all of you aswell as me!❤️

We’ve done it!

Tuesday 12th May
Well after Saturdays 10 Mile long run, and a few more donations the distance and donation goal has been hit! 

Thankyou all who have supported and donated so far, this is only the start! I’m hoping to be able to do double the mileage and hopefully double the donations by the end of May!😅🤞🏻 

To carry on where we left off, any further support, shares or donations would be fantastic and greatly appreciated, thankyou all for giving me purpose behind my running and the chance to raise money for something so close to mine and my families hearts❤️

Day 6

Wednesday 6th May
Just under a week in and 12.5 miles covered with £119 raised! 

Thankyou so much to everyone who has shared, supported or donated already, it is greatly appreciated! 

Today (06.05.26) was my first run session of the challenge with a track session covering 4.5 miles and hitting 11 x 400’s with 1.5 mile warm up and cool down chucked in for fun!😁 

Looking forward to seeing how far we can get in the next 3 weeks!❤️



The reason behind it all

Monday 27th Apr
First of all thankyou for viewing my page, I have decided to take part in the RNLI May Day Mile challenge to raise funds for the RNLI lifeboats, something extremely close to my heart, I lost my amazing papa 5 years ago, he was an avid fan of the RNLI and gave many a donation, after his passing he left a donation in his will and we had his name added to the then new boat stationed in Whitby, we even managed to take my wonderful nana too see ‘him’ last year!❤️ 
would like to follow in his footsteps and help donate as much as possible for such a wonderful cause, the incredible men and women who volunteer and risk their lives for the sake of saving/helping others deserve every ounce of help and respect they can get! 
I’m hoping me taking part in this months challenge can help build a broader knowledge & future for safety within the sea and help these incredible people help anyone in need. 

Any support or donation would be greatly appreciated, thankyou to anyone who decides to support me on this journey!❤️
