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?

Hiya & Mission Statement!

Sunday 14th Apr
I’ve decided to raise money for the RNLI by doing the Mayday Mile; one mile everyday through May. Within this I’ll be doing a Half Marathon at Eton Dorney on the 11th May. 

The UK has over 11,000 miles of coastline, beaches and seaside and this is protected by the RNLI who make it a safe for us to enjoy year round. 

As many of you will know, I decided to stop rowing in 2022 and I didn’t feel super great much of the time (understated). Going to the beach and being by the sea was, and is, one of my favourite ways to relax and make my brain & bod rest up a bit. 
I’ve faffed around with various ways of exercising since rowing, and running around is gradually becoming my favourite, also helping keep the brain and bod in check!!

This is a personal challenge which will push me (I’ve never run a half marathon before) but also raise funds for the RNLI and the absolute champs who volunteer for them, so we can all continue to enjoy days at the beach and swims in the sea, whatever the purpose or reason! 

Thank you to my Sponsors
