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?

Mile a day

Wednesday 21st May
Yesterday all three of us managed a fair distance! Dave walked over a mile, Luke handcycled a mile and I sea swam 1400 yards. One of Lukes classmates likes to twiddle with his bike settings and make it seem uphill so Lukes got to hide it away!

Handbike for Mile a Day

Monday 19th May

Going strong

Sunday 11th May
We're smashing our miles, often all 3 of us achieve a mile in the same day :) Lukes speed is increasing, he used to spend half an hour of his lunchbreak using the hand cycle, now its nearer 20 minutes!

31 miles in May

Tuesday 29th Apr
We're gearing up for our challenge! Dave will walk in the early mornings, I will pool and sea swim (aiming to get my time below an hour for a mile) and Luke will ask for rowing/ handcycle time during lunch breaks at school. Between us we are aiming for at least a mile a day :)
