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?

Halfway there, really enjoying the walks, yesterday due to the rain I completed my mile on a cross trainer in the gym, such a shame I couldn't walk there. Thank you to everyone that has sponsored me so far

Why RNLI ?

Monday 15th Apr
From the age of 8 on a school trip to Hoylake lifeboat station, I have admired the selfless job the volunteers undertake ever since. From the rescues on the high seas, to keeping us safe on the beaches.  In this day and age, such an important organisation can only operate because of donations from us.  Day in and day out, in all conditions, the volunteeers give up thier time to help someone in need, so giving up some of my time to help, is the least I can do. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
