We're taking on the Mayday Mile challenge to support RNLI volunteers

This May, Deena and I are 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 our RNLI Mayday Mile challenge and support the courageous crews?

We're taking on the Mayday Mile challenge to support RNLI volunteers

Saturday 27th Apr

May marks our annual fundraiser for the local RNLI station that we depend on for so much- Dunmore East RNLI.

This is our 4th year to participate and this time round we plan to do at least a mile a day for the month of May. My wife Deena and I will travel about the locality and try build up the miles as we go.

It is a bit different to our previous efforts which saw a one-day or two-day event to bring in some funds but we will, of course, keep the focus on our maritime shoreline and heritage. We look forward to giving regular updates on not just our progress but on places to see, and history to share, Fingers crossed that some of our friends and fellow maritime enthusiasts join us as we go. We may even have a guest blog or two.

It’s all about raising those necessary funds to keep the vital service that is our local RNLI. So if you would like to make a contribution you can do so, by visiting our donation page here, and look out for our weekly updates.

Thank you to my Sponsors
