19 Days to Go 🏃‍♀️

Saturday 12th Apr
Just over 2 weeks to go until the Mayday Mile Challenge starts!

I’m not going to lie, I’m slightly dreading it.
I’m still struggling to get into the swing of things and want to give up after 5 minutes of running, the struggle is real! 

But, a challenge is meant to be challenging and I’ve raised over £250 so far which I never even imagined I would do, so thank you all so so much!! 🤩

I’m tracking my training progress on Strava and will also be uploading the daily runs in May, so follow along to give me some much needed motivation

I have just under £150 to raise by the end of May to meet my target, so please share and if you can donate any amount at all I will be over the moon

THANK YOU! ❤️

Go Big or Go Home

Wednesday 2nd Apr
With just under 1 month until the challenge starts I’ve already hit my original target of £125 and I’m nearing my second target of £250!


According to Google, we’ve raised enough to buy a thermal suit, with some change 

  • Drysuit (ILB): £805 
  • Thermal suit (ILB): £150 
  • Lifejacket: £590 
  • Helmet: £350 
  • Helly Hansen RNLI 200 Hooded Jacket (Men's): £127 
  • Helly Hansen RNLI 200 Insulator Vest (Women's): £96 
  • Helly Hansen RNLI 200 Trucker Cap: £22 
  • Helly Hansen RNLI 200 Half Zip Daybreaker Fleece (Men's): £60 
  • Inshore Rescue Boat: £13,000 
  • D class inshore lifeboat: £101,000 
  • B class Atlantic 85 inshore lifeboat:£322,000 
  • Shannon class all-weather lifeboat: £2.78M



So, let’s raise the stakes!

£400 will split the cost of a few pieces of kit

Any more will be an absolute bonus. 


I still can’t believe we smashed the £125 target before March was out! Hopefully we can hit £400 by the end of May 🤞🏼


Thank you all for your support!

WOW!

Wednesday 26th Mar

WOW!


We’ve smashed my original target of £125 and it’s still March!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who has donated or shared, I’m honestly speechless 🥺


I still have 2 months to go until the end of May, so I’m DOUBLING my target!

£250, hopefully we can reach it! 🤞🏼

No Spring Chicken

Tuesday 18th Mar
In May, I’m taking on the Mayday Mile Challenge and running a mile every day

Fun fact: 10+ years ago I used to run 5k almost daily and often 10k when I had the time. Now I’m out of breath climbing the stairs after a long day of sitting in the office 🫠 so believe me, this will be a challenge! 

The RNLI is a charity that is close to my heart and the volunteers are some of the most selfless people I’ve met. Not only do they risk their lives to save others, they do it any hour of the day and night, including on Christmas.

There’s a lot of kit required to allow the RNLI to do their job and none of it is cheap. 

I’m hoping to raise £125 to help towards kit and operational costs so please donate if you can. I’ll be over the moon if I hit my target

Thank you to my Sponsors
