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

DAY 10+11!

Monday 11th May
Day 10 was spent painting a bathroom, so sadly ran out of time to get a dedicated walk in. Day 11 however was my longest trek yet at just over 2 miles, so hopefully that makes up for it!!

DAY 9!

Saturday 9th May
Today's mile was a lovely walk along the Thames with a welcome beer at The Rose Revived to end 🙌

DAY 4!

Monday 4th May
Got some extra company for today's mile! A walk through Blenheim Palace for the Medieval Jousting! 😅

DAY 3!

Sunday 3rd May
Day 3 ticked off nice and early today, wanted to beat the rain! Took on the local hill and saw tons of wildlife, plus a great view from the top where you can see the JR etc

DAY 2!

Saturday 2nd May
Day 2 done! Not looking forward to tomorrow's mile with the wet weather returning!

In my bid to get fitter and healthier, I've decided this is a relatively easy challenge to start with and it's for a brilliant cause. So please sponsor/donate whatever you can to help.

Thank you to my Sponsors
