Why…

It’s not the London Marathon, but I’ve decided to sign up to the Mayday Mile, walking a mile (at least) every day next month in aid of the RNLI.


The RNLI is a fantastic charity, that frankly not many people realise the value of until they are faced with 50 miles of ocean and no sign of land! Most of you know I volunteer for St John Ambulance, and the RNLI is a similar sort of charity, with a small army of volunteers who give hundreds of hours each year to serve the public; and whilst I can’t be out on the water saving lives (I’ll stick to my greens in a gazebo!) I want to do my bit to support such a valuable charity that relies on donations alone to continue to run.


As some of you may know I really used to enjoy walking and running in previous years before various reasons forced me to stop, and I have really missed getting out like I used to and am determined to make that change. I’m also doing this for little me, who was convinced I wasn’t good enough to do anything remotely like this so it’s small but it’s a step towards proving myself wrong!


As well as this and on a lighter note I have really missed having so many amazing photo opportunities: so throughout the challenge I plan to take an interesting photo from every walk I do, and upload it to the blog on the giving page… who knows what could happen… 😅
