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?

Please help raise funds for the RNLI

Why am I doing this?

Friday 21st Mar
I'm taking part in this challenge in memory of my Dad, who sadly passed away back in 2023 after a battle with cancer.  
There isn't a day that passes where I don't think about him and all the kind-hearted things he did, not just for his family but for his friends and sometimes strangers too.
He had a love of the sea, sailing/boating, fishing and the RNLI, passing this love on to us. He would always visit the RNLI gift shops when visiting the seaside for holidays and day trips, purchasing pin badges, pens, notepads... the list goes on!
He unfortunately needed to be rescued by RNLI Beaumaris near Red Wharf Bay in Anglesey back in the early 2000s due to his yacht experiencing engine and rudder failure - he was so embarrassed, but that's the thing, he needn't have been, unexpected incidents/accidents happen and that's why the RNLI are hear to help. They do such a great job saving lives, most are volunteers dedicating their time in support - I would be standing there beside them if I didn't live in Manchester and I will do all that I can to help until the day comes where I am no longer around to do so!
Most of you already know, I too have experienced ill health over recent years and now I have the strength and physical ability to carry out this challenge so here we are, watch this space...
