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?

Why am I doing this?
Monday 22nd AprI have just signed up to the Mayday Mile – all about moving a mile a day during May, to raise funds for the Royal National Lifeboat Institute (RNLI). This was a charity my late father supported his whole life, and since he passed I have become more involved as I see what incredible work their volunteers do.
A mile a day might not seem a lot to many of you, but for me it is a significant challenge. For those who don’t know, I live with a non-visible condition called Fibromyalgia which causes (among other things) extreme fatigue and constant pain in most of my body. Both of these vary on an hour-to-hour, day-to-day basis and I can’t predict how I will feel or what I am capable of doing at that point. This makes it very difficult for me to be consistent with any form of exercise. However, in order to recognise the efforts of the RNLI volunteers who go out in extreme conditions to save others, I am going to take on the challenge of doing at least one mile every day without fail in May, no matter how I feel.
There is no pressure or expectation, but if you are able to donate, my page is here: Support the RNLI Mayday Mile
I would be very grateful for any amount, as even £1 makes a difference, especially if you are able to gift aid it.
