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?

Distance Completed and Money Amount Smashed!

Monday 25th May
I'd increased my distance to two miles a day and increased the donation goal by £100 and happy to report both have been completed and then some!

Broken record but again, I'd like to thank everyone who's donated, thank you! 

Our walks have been late at night recently due to the heat, it's heartbreaking seeing a dog being walked at the hottest part of the day. Missing a walk isn't going to hurt your dog but the heat will!

Poorly Pooch!

Sunday 17th May
Lottie has been poorly since Thursday, firing out of both ends so I have still been doing our walks, just without her.

Still using my treadmill every other day. 

I increased my target distance and my donation target as the amount of donations were outstanding, so thank you very much again to everyone who's donated, it's amazing. 

I survived!

Wednesday 6th May
 I attempted the Treadmill on Monday and didn't cough up a lung, so have managed to go on it everyday this week.

Only lasted a mile on it, normally 2 but that and walking Lottie is enough of a combo to get my distance in 😁

Still feel ropey but walking through it. 

Rough Start But That Isn't Stopping Me

Sunday 3rd May
As the law of Sod would have it, since Friday I've had a stinking cold and bad chesty cough, currently coughing up all shades of green. I haven't touched the treadmill for fear of coughing up a lung but have still been taking Lottie out for our 1.5 mile walks which is helping me achieve my minimum mile a day target.

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far, you're amazing and have smashed my original £200 target! 

Less Than A Week To Go!

Sunday 26th Apr
I start recording distance on Friday for the Mayday Mile.

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far, you're amazing!

Keeping Up The Exercise For A Great Cause

Friday 17th Apr
I have been losing weight since buying a treadmill and walking our 7 month old puppy, Lottie.

Considering we're an island country, I can't believe the RNLI isn't Government funded and instead run by volunteers. 

A friend of mine was actually rescued from the sea in Weston Super Mare by the RNLI and features in their TV adverts and it's a stark reminder of the hard work and bravery the volunteers need to save lives at sea.

I've signed up to their Mayday Mile Challenge and aim to walk more than a mile a day for the month of May. 

There's no pressure to donate but if you can, even £1, it's going to an amazing cause. 

Thank you 
Alex
