I’m taking on the Mayday Mile Challenge to support RNLI volunteers

This May I’m attempting to complete a mile-a-day challenge to help RNLI crews save lives at sea.

I was 75 in March and my wife gave me a treadmill! I am trying to use it everyday - a challenge in itself for someone who has never bothered about fitness etc. Anyway, I'll be doing (hopefully) this challenge on the treadmill 1 mile/day (1.61Km/day as it reads in Km).

During the 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. However, 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 a rescue and make sure they’re ready to face their busiest season.

Will you please sponsor my RNLI Mayday Mile Challenge and support the courageous crews?

Thanks Drew
