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?

Please help raise funds for the RNLI

Mile a day 5

Monday 5th May
Had a walking buddy today, my friend Ellie. We went for a coffee and a catch-up, and I was able to take her to the Central Co-op's Insomnia Cafe.

My strava is just Heather Mckay if you want to see the exact walks I've done. 

Mile a day 4

Sunday 4th May
MAY THE 4th BE WITH YOU. 
After doing over a mile this morning, only to find out Strava had not recorded it all, I took an evening walk with the dogs to log that mile properly. Very frustrating, however, I am finding intentional walking each day rewarding so far.

Mile day 3

Sunday 4th May
I decided to only count 1 intentional mile a day, as on this day I was at Comic Con, so I more than exceeded a mile a day, but I wanted to have 1 intentional one each day, so I only counted the one. Comic con was great, and I got a lot of Star Wars merchandise, including my first Padawan Outpost lightsaber.

Mile day 2

Sunday 4th May
A good walk, but I was sore by the end. I managed to work, going to the co-op to buy some chocolate for change into my walk, which is also a good boost for morale.

Mile 1

Thursday 1st May
I did day one! The heat is exhausting especially when in a new place such as Lichfield before getting a train as I was clueless to where to go or where there is shade so I was in the sun for the whole thing while in a suit. Day 1 comple. Now just to get the train back home

Why I am doing this

Sunday 20th Apr
As someone who has always loved swimming and scuba diving, I have become very aware of the dangers of these activities, especially in open water. It is essential that services like the RNLI receive funding for the work that they do to help keep the public safe, especially as we move towards the summer months. 
I am looking forward to this challenge, as while it may not be much to some people, someone with a disability, which impacts my stamina and fatigue levels, this is a challenge that both seems doable whilst still pushing me out of my comfort zone. All donations are wonderful and I thank anyone who does donate.
