RNLI Walk

Monday 16th Mar Yoooo, so basically I'm trying to raise some money for the RNLI. Every year in Barmouth theres always at least one idiot who goes out into the sea who either has no clue about water safety, just doesnt care, or genuinely believes it doesn't matter and they'll be fine. This ignorance unfortunately often costs lives, and always costs money, approximately £2,200 PER CALL OUT and I don't know if you're aware but the RNLI, like the air ambulance, is not funded by the government. There was a deal between the government and the RNLI however this ended 157 years ago in 1869, since then it has relied on supporters, volunteers, and fundraising events etc. We all know that especially here on the coast of Wales the RNLI is essential, if you've ever known a worker or volunteer for this organisation then you'll know how hard they work and how dedicated they are to saving lives and helping others. You've all met Beth and I imagine most of you know her father has played a key role for years in the Barmouth branch of the RNLI, this means I have been able to see just some of the commitment and dedication that is put into this job. Always a pager on his person and always ready to rush off as soon as it goes off no matter the time of day, could be 3pm or 3am it makes no difference. If it were not for people like Rob Williams we'd be seeing many, many more tragic articles in the local news outlets of drownings and deaths at sea. Surely you can see the importance of the RNLI and the necessity of donations and fundraising events, I'm hoping that is enough to convince you to either donate to my page or join me and raise money yourself.  Share
