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?

Brixham Pirate Festival

Monday 4th May
Visited the Brixham Pirate Festival with everyone. Enjoying the festivities as we walked to the breakwater and back. Making sure to stop off at the RNLI while we were at it. 

Just keep swimming

Saturday 2nd May
Today it was raining hard so to achieve my 1 mile I went swimming with my bestie Jayme and treated myself to a little relaxation in the sauna 🤭

Let the challenge begin!

Friday 1st May
Today marks the first day of the challenge, so where else to go but towards the sea. A lovely walk and picnic along Torquay seafront. Managing to walk 3.2 miles. 1 day down, 30 more to go!
