Taking on the Reindeer Run Challenge for RNLI lifesavers
RNLI supporters around the country will be donning their antlers and strapping up their hooves to run 24 miles – all to help keep RNLI volunteers safe this winter.
Freezing seas, numbing winds and sub-zero temperatures – would you fancy launching into that aboard a lifeboat? RNLI crews will be doing just that, battling the elements this winter to continue their mission to save every one.
Reindeer Runners will be raising money so they have everything they need to answer the call for help. Because no matter how harsh the winter weather might be, lifeboat crews will always launch to the rescue. I’d be so grateful if you could sponsor me.

First attempted run (saturday 16.11.24)
Monday 18th Nov Well the first attempted run on Saturday was a lot tougher than I thought !!! My pace was somewhat very slow, so loads of room for improvement. More cycling miles into the knees in an attempt to strengthen the knees before they start pounding the ground. Thanks everyone for your great support x Share

Thursday 7th Nov After a disaster yesterday, when training involved digesting a full Afternoon Tea, it felt good today to get back out walking in prep for the Reindeer Run. Share
Training Walk 4.85 miles
Wednesday 6th Nov Before I can start thinking about running, I need to start walking. So together with Mrs H we went on a 4.85 walk around the Country Park & back this afternoon. Good to get some fresh air Share
