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?

Day 1 Supporting RNLI

Wednesday 1st May
10 K Great start for such a worth while organisation.

 Remember those wonderful holidays I am sure you have had over many years at beaches around the island of the UK. 
Please now take a moment to remember all the volunteers who behind the scenes at the seaside.  Spend many hours training to be  ready for any emergency day or night you are anyone may encounter. 

A donation large or small will make a huge difference. Will you support these volunteers who some say are the fourth emergency service?

Day 1 £100
