437 Lives saved

9,141 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.

Only 3 runs to go!

Sunday 21st Dec
I realised today that if 10/11 people donated £20 each I'd smash my target. That might be a big ask...but WHAT IF just 20 people gave £10! That's all we need to reach £1000 & that would be totally awesome. I know it's the wrong time of year being Xmas ...but when is it EVER the right time to give £. Please donate and see me finish reaching my target. 

Reindeer Rin #18

Thursday 18th Dec
It's getting tougher to get out in the mornings. I feel it's down to the run up to Xmas where we all get a bit of down time. Thank you for your continued support. It's what's keeping me going. Only 6 more runs to go! 

RNLI Reindeer Run #9

Tuesday 9th Dec
Nearly into double figures for the runs. A huge shout out to all the RNLI supporters and donators these past few days. You've kept me going especially on days like today with gusts of up to 80mph. Thank you. Your donation really does help save lives. 

RNLI Reindeer Run #9

Tuesday 9th Dec

Reindeer Runs +#6

Saturday 6th Dec
A few more runs under my belt. The worst was yesterday. Weather warnings, sideways harsh rain and wind...but I'm determined to keep going and try and raise as much £ as possible. 

Reindeer Run #3

Wednesday 3rd Dec
A bit of a rush to get out and back tonight plus I had tech issues of which I think were due to my new reindeer antler 'dealy-boppers', but it's done. 

RNLI Reindeer Run #2

Tuesday 2nd Dec
Still a few more days to go but at least it's not raining today. Enjoying getting out there even if it's just a mile a day. Keep 'em coming. 

Reindeer Run #1

Monday 1st Dec
1st run complete. In the dark, wet & cold. Will hopefully get to grips with tech & post video updates as I go. Reindeer antlers ordered. Thanks for all your support. Dx
