I’m swimming a mile a day, every day, for a month to support RNLI volunteers
This May, I am attempting to swim a mile-a-day for the whole month to help RNLI crews save lives at sea.
As an island nation, we flock to the beaches every summer to make the most of the glorious weather. What many of us don't realise is that there are men and women dedicating their time and skill to rescuing those who get in trouble and bringing them safely home to their loved ones.
By undertaking a personal challenge and commitment to try and swim a mile each day for the month of May I hope to raise awareness (and money!) for these amazing people. A mile a day is equivalent to 64 lengths of a regular 25m swimming pool... this means I will be swimming 1,984 length in May!!! Wish me luck but more importantly, please encourage me by donating your money to them. Your sponsorship can make a real, lifesaving difference by helping provide volunteers with everything they need to rescue those finding themselves in trouble
Will you sponsor my RNLI Mayday Mile Challenge and support these courageous crews?
