I’m taking on the Mayday Mile Challenge to support RNLI volunteers

This May, I’m taking on the Mayday Mile Challenge to raise funds for the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution)—a cause that’s especially close to my heart.

My partner John is a volunteer crew member on the Kippford lifeboat, and I’ve seen first-hand the incredible bravery, dedication, and compassion that goes into every rescue. The RNLI is made up of ordinary people doing extraordinary things—putting their lives on the line to save others at sea.

What many people don’t realise is that the RNLI relies entirely on donations. There’s no government funding—just the generosity of people like you and me.

So I’m stepping up—one mile at a time—to show my support and help keep lifeboats afloat, crews equipped, and lives saved.

Whether it's £1 or £10, every donation counts. If you can, please sponsor me and share my page with others who might want to support this incredible cause. Together, we can make a real difference.

💛 Let’s keep the lifeboats running and our crews safe. Thank you so much for your support!
