I’m fundraising for the RNLI to help power brave lifesavers to the rescue
Every day, around the coasts of the UK and Ireland, RNLI volunteers are kitting up to answer desperate calls for help. But they can’t launch to the rescue without support. The RNLI relies on donations to fund the kit and training volunteers need to save lives at sea and return safely home. I’m fundraising to help them stay ready to rescue.

Swim 37 done
Wednesday 12th Aug 53 miles done. Past Guilford. Still slightly behind target but heading in the right direction since holiday. Share
31st swim complete
Thursday 30th Jul Now a bit behind due to taking some leave. I did manage a couple of tourist swims in Ulverston pool. I will need to average 5 swims a week for August and some of September to get back on track.
24th swim Reigate
Friday 10th Jul 33 miles. The eagle eyed might spot I already claimed Reigate and indeed Dorking. This was down to a miles kilometres confusion. I have now swum past Reigate.
22nd Swim
Wednesday 8th Jul Monday I did the 22nd swim. Just under 50km done. Now slightly behind schedule. Share
Dorking - Swim 17
Tuesday 30th Jun Just done swim 17. Now swum past Dorking. Slightly behind schedule. Share
Reigate
Tuesday 23rd Jun Just done swim 14. Just past Reigate. 6% complete and slightly ahead of schedule.
Sevenoaks
Tuesday 16th Jun 10th and 11th swims out the way and I have now swum past Sevenoaks. Which is marginally quicker than public transport. Share
9th swim
Sunday 14th Jun Just finished my 9th swim. Back on track. Done just over 21km in 2 weeks. Still genuinely loving it; no doubt the grind is to come. Share
4th and 5th swims
Monday 8th Jun 4th & 5th under my belt. Sunday was very hard but today was delightful. Still not daunted by the scale of the task but I'm sure that's to come. Share
2nd and 3rd Swim
Friday 5th Jun 2nd and 3rd swims under my belt. 2nd felt great, 3rd was hard work. Share
Swim 1
Monday 1st Jun Did first swim to the Isles of Scilly. 100 lengths. 2.5km. Not swum that far in training.
