RNLI Tower Run 2026

RNLI Tower Run 2026

The RNLI Tower Run is London’s biggest stair climb challenge, with runners tackling over 1,400 steps whilst raising money to support the RNLI's lifesaving work in London and along the UK coastline.

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. Powered by kind donations, our search and rescue service has been saving lives around the UK for over 200 years. 

Every pound and penny raised from the RNLI Tower Run will go towards equipping our volunteer lifeboat crews with the essential training, kit, boats and materials required to continue our lifesaving mission for years to come.

Giving in Memory of Penlee 1981

Friday 16th Oct
Living in Havant, 60 miles along the coast from the RNLI headquarters in Poole, I've grown up knowing how important the lifeboat crews are to our coastal communities. Whether it's rescuing people in danger at sea, supporting local emergencies, or providing vital water safety education, the RNLI's volunteers are there whenever they're needed, often in the most challenging conditions.

My Admiration for the RNLI goes back to watching a BBC documentary about the Penlee lifeboat disaster some years ago , and I will always advocate for them .

To do that, I've signed up to take on the Tower Run 2026 in London. It will be a demanding physical challenge, but it's nothing compared to the commitment shown every day by the RNLI's volunteer crews, who are ready to respond 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help the RNLI continue to save lives at sea by funding lifeboats, equipment, training, and the support their volunteers need to carry out their life-saving work.

I'd be incredibly grateful for your support as I prepare for this challenge. Whether you choose to donate, share this page, or simply follow my journey, you'll be helping to support a charity that means so much to me and countless others around our coastline.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we can help ensure the RNLI continues its incredible work of saving lives at sea.
