My target 150 mi

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. My aim though, is to walk 150 miles during the month of May. 

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?

The summit of a mountain!

Snowdon!

Wednesday 22nd May
On Sunday 12th May I climbed Snowdon or Yr Wyddfa.  It was a super tough climb to the top (up and back down the Llamberis path) but the weather was kind and I felt such a sense of achievement on reaching the top ! Only (!) 10 miles but 26,000 steps walked!

Walking in the woods for Mayday Mile

Hi everyone
A little update on my Mayday Mile. I've been trying to manage about 5 miles a day in order to achieve my target of 150 miles by the end of the month.
I managed 10 miles on Saturday on a longer walk around Chatsworth and have now managed to reach 42 miles which means I've passed 25% of my total target!
Still a long way to go but I'm enjoying the challenge so far. 

Target Amount Raised !

Monday 1st Apr
I was amazed that within 24 hours of starting my fundraiser, I had already reached my target of £150.
Thank you to all my amazing friends for their donations so far.
I say "so far" as I don't want this momentum to stop and want to continue to raise money. For this reason,  I have increased my target amount to £250. 
Please continue to support me!! 
Thank you everyone !!  You are pawsome! 

Thank you to my Sponsors
