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 2 done! In my lovely new RNLI running shirt
Thursday 2nd May Woohooo! And voted too. And today's run was considerably quicker than yesterday, I think due to listening to Public Service Broadcasting as I ran! Share
Day 1 done - only a slight amount of buyer's remorse about this challenge
Wednesday 1st May
Woohooo! What a way to prepare to be 52!
Sunday 28th Apr As part of leading the Commitment Pathway to Adventure I have signed up to raising money for RNLI by running a mile a day in May. I have never done a streak (as I am reliably informed this is called) before. I was umming and ahing about it - how will I make it work, how will I fit the run in each day, can I do it, what about my 51 year old knees blah blah blah and then I chose to go for it! I am excited and about to buy some new running leggings, so I don't have to be concerned about enough clean kit!Share
