Canaan's Mayday Mile

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?

Why Now?

Tuesday 15th Apr
This year I will be turning 30 and I wanted to do something memorable. I was inspired by my best friend, Cj Spicer, who raised money to fight Parkinson's by skydiving. 

I'm not nearly as adventurous as she is, so when the powers that be (i.e. instagram algorithms) started suggesting walking and swimming challenges, I thought that would be much more my speed! 

And what better charity to fundraise for than one my family has supported for more than 50 years? 

My grandparents were huge supporters of the RNLI for most of their lives, as are my parents now - and it's a tradition I hope to continue for many years to come.

Thank you to my Sponsors
