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?

Mayday Mile

Friday 18th Apr
Hi everyone I'm doing the Mayday mile in memory of Daniel Halliday. Daniel is the nephew of my very close friend Leah. Daniel went to the beach with his brother for a few hours and was sadly took by a wave. The RNLI searched for Daniel till he was found days later. If it wasn't for this amazing team there would be thousands of people losing there lives each year. So if you could all donate just even a pound that would be amazing. Thank you x
