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 MayDay Miles' Challenge 2025

Wednesday 28th May
Wow! I have completed over 100 miles in May ... and there are still a few days to go. I didn't quite manage over 3 miles every day, so walked extra on other days to make up for that ... going the extra mile, just as the amazing RNLI crews do every single day.
Thank you so very much to everyone who has sponsored me.

My MayDay Miles' Challenge 2025

Monday 12th May
I may live in the middle of the country, but I love the sea and visit whenever I can - most recently a great trip to Whitby, which included the really important RNLI museum. The work of the RNLI amazing volunteers is absolutely crucial - thank you to each every person involved. I am walking at least 3 miles every day in May to raise £125, as a small contribution to your amazing work. Gail
