How your support helped the RNLI in 2025

272 Lives saved

44,505 People aided by lifeboat crews and lifeguards

9,058 Lifeboat launches

Taking on the Reindeer Run challenge for RNLI lifesavers

RNLI supporters around the country will be donning their antlers and strapping up their hooves to run 24 miles – all to help keep RNLI volunteers safe this winter.

Freezing seas, numbing winds and sub-zero temperatures – would you fancy launching into that aboard a lifeboat? RNLI crews will be doing just that, battling the elements this winter to continue their mission to save every one.

Reindeer Runners will be raising money so they have everything they need to answer the call for help. Because no matter how harsh the winter weather might be, lifeboat crews will always launch to the rescue. I’d be so grateful if you could sponsor me.

Dan’s Reindeer Run 2026

Tuesday 20th Oct
***RNLI REINDEER RUN 2026 🦌***

After taking a break in December 2025, I pledged to be back at it in 2026 - so here I am!

This December I’ll be running 24 miles throughout the month for the RNLI - that's one mile for every hour RNLI volunteers are on call, even on Christmas Day, which, for a non-frequent runner like myself, is no mean feat. 

That’s the equivalent of running as the crow flies from my home to:

- the River Ribble estuary in the North
- Lymm or Northwich in the East 
- past Wrexham in the South
- to Abergele/Llandulas in the West 

In 2025, the RNLI: 

- saved 272 Lives
- 44,505 People aided by lifeboat crews and lifeguards
- 9,058 Lifeboats launched

Freezing seas, numbing winds and sub-zero temperatures – would you fancy launching into that aboard a lifeboat? RNLI crews will be doing just that, battling the elements this winter to continue their mission to save every one - even on Christmas Day 🎄🎅🏻

So if you’re a lover of the beach/sea, live near the coast or just enjoy a summer day trip out to the seaside, please consider donating or sharing to help me with my challenge. I’ll be back with more updates closer to December 🎉🎉
