Taking on the Reindeer Run challenge for RNLI lifesavers
RNLI supporters around the country will be donning their antlers and strapping up their hooves to run 24 miles – all to help keep RNLI volunteers safe this winter.
Freezing seas, numbing winds and sub-zero temperatures – would you fancy launching into that aboard a lifeboat? RNLI crews will be doing just that, battling the elements this winter to continue their mission to save every one.
Reindeer Runners will be raising money so they have everything they need to answer the call for help. Because no matter how harsh the winter weather might be, lifeboat crews will always launch to the rescue. I’d be so grateful if you could sponsor me.

Over and out…
Thursday 25th Dec Today is Christmas Day and I’ve finished my challenge on 32 miles - my aim was 24 - and having exceeded my fundraising target for this great charity. This will be my last blog post and I won’t be adding my miles anymore. Thanks to everyone who donated. I’ve enjoyed the challenge. Merry Christmas! A xx Share
Done!
Thursday 18th Dec Well, I’ve done it, 24 miles! It’s a bit of whimper rather than a bang because I still have a cold but delighted to be over the finish line. I don’t plan to stop, I’m going to see if I can ‘round up’ to 30 miles! Share
Cold stops play!
Tuesday 16th Dec I seem to have caught a nasty cold. Thankfully because I’m so far ahead my miles (more than I thought I would be at this point) I’m able to rest. So nothing yesterday but maybe - hopefully! - a gentle mile today. Share
How I calculate distance at aqua.
Thursday 11th Dec
Soggy mile.
Wednesday 10th Dec
More in the bank.
Thursday 4th Dec So as well as the mile at the gym I managed another 1.5 miles today! Makes me believe I can do this. I need to try and bank more miles to make sure if I do get unwell, I don’t jeopardise the challenge. Share
First mile of the day…
Thursday 4th Dec
A harder day.
Wednesday 3rd Dec Today I only just managed one mile. My asthma has been bad and although I had been planning to do a two plus mile walk, it wasn’t to be. Here’s hoping tomorrow is easier! Share
Here we go!
Monday 1st Dec Today is the day the challenge starts! I’ve started early and did my first mile at aqua fitness. I made sure to calculate how much I covered during aqua before the challenge started and it’s just over a mile so I’m a mile down and raring to go! (I’ll also be doing outdoor walks and treadmill each week). Share
Wohoo!
Wednesday 5th Nov So in a couple of days, I’ve exceeded my fundraising target and I can’t quite believe it. I am very grateful for every single pound that’s been donated and it’s got me fired up for the challenge in December. Thank you, thank you. Now to raise even more! Share
