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?

My Updates

Mayday mile COMPLETE

Friday 31st May
With swim mile nr.31, that officially marks the end of the Mayday Mile! 🎉🏊‍♂️ I just want to say a massive thank you to all of you who have shown love and support to keep this fundraiser going. Thanks to all of you, we’ve reached £100 more than the target, which is just incredible! It means a lot to both me and the RNLI, making it possible to save countless lives this summer. I myself learned that I am capable of more than I thought. From doing this as my first fundraiser, to swimming every single day instead of 3x a week, making sure I would reach that 31 mile target, it was certainly a challenge! But with all your support, I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and accomplished something great this month. So, once again, thank you all 💕

QUICK MESSAGE!!

Sunday 12th May

As I will be training for my open water lifeguard qualification next Fri 17-Sun 19, I will not be able to complete my mile swim on these days. However, in order to still reach 31 miles this month and complete the challenge, I will be swimming an extra 0.5 mile for 6 days. You will see distance updates on my MD mile story! :) (@flynn_huy on instagram)

Target reached and swims begun!

Thursday 2nd May
Hi everyone,

Just wanted to say a massive thank you as we have now reached the £250 target and are almost at £300! Which is incredible. Thank you all so much for your support so far and your kind donations.

I have now started my mile swims and am updating my “MD updates” highlight daily. Please do continue to spread the word, as all donations will continue to help RNLI save lives at sea and make you part of a great cause. Once again, thank you all :)

Almost time to begin!

Sunday 28th Apr
Hi everyone,

Just wanted to come on here and say thank you for your incredible support so far! We are almost at the target already, which has been a great motivation (and a bit of a surprise to me as I didn’t expect it to do this well!) It is almost time to begin the daily swims, I will be updating my instagram (@flynn_h1) “MD updates” highlight of every swim as well as adding the miles on here. 

Once again, thank you to all who have donated and shared my page so far! You’re all amazing.
