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

This May, I’m completing on average 2 miles-a-day challenge to help RNLI crews save lives at sea. This will be done on my Carbonology Cruze Surfski bought from Carbonology Sport UK https://www.carbonologysport.co.uk/ 

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 2-Mile a day challenge and support the courageous crews?

Mayday Mile #10 & Final

Monday 10th Jun
What a great month May has been, having raised £593.55 after an expectation of £250 has been overwhelming to say the least and then exceeding my 62 mile target by doing 66 miles has been the icing on the cake. I've enjoyed every mile of it and knowing it's been for a great cause has made it all more worth while.

A great BIG THANK YOU to all of you for your sponsorship, support and commitment to the RNLI's Mayday Mile for "Saving Lives at Sea".

Regards

Andy
