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?

Yesterday I completed my final mayday challenge walk for the RNLI. I reached my target of 100 miles and raised over £300 pounds for the RNLI. I also lost around 9lbs in weight walking everyday in May. Thank you to everyone for their support.

Monday 28th Apr
It's spring, I need to become fitter after last year's knee op and lose some ballast . 
We sail our little boat on the west coast of Scotland , we see the RNLI out on calls and hear them responding to emergencies or communicating with the coastguard to save lives and vessels from damage . They also provide vital assistance to remote communities on the islands in emergencies. They do all this as volunteers . They even build their own lifeboats in Poole . Please help raise funds for the RNLI and encourage me with my fitness . I plan to walk at least 100 miles in May .  Many thanks
