I’m fundraising for the RNLI to help power brave lifesavers to the rescue

🌊 9 Beaches for 9 Years 🛟
What started as a family walk to Brixham has inspired my 9-year-old son to take on a very special challenge.
During our walk, we stopped at Brixham Lifeboat Station, where we met a lovely lady called Carol, she told us about the incredible people behind the lifeboats.
My son was fascinated hearing about the volunteers who give their time to help rescue people and save lives at sea. We learned about the dedication involved and how much it costs to keep the lifeboats, equipment and crews ready to respond when someone is in trouble.
After our visit, my son decided that he wanted to do something to help too.
So, at just 9 years old, he has set himself a challenge: to clear litter from 9 Devon beaches — one beach for every year of his life — while raising money for the lifeboats. 🛟🌊
Living in Devon, we're incredibly lucky to have such a beautiful coastline on our doorstep. This challenge is his way of doing two things that matter: helping to look after our beaches and supporting the people who help keep us safe at sea.
We'll be visiting 9 different beaches, litter picking at each one and sharing his progress along the way.
What started as a simple family walk has inspired a 9-year-old to try to make a difference to the coastline he loves.
Every donation, big or small, will help support the lifesaving work of the lifeboats. And if you can't donate, sharing his challenge would mean just as much.
9 years old. 9 Devon beaches. One big mission to help our coast and those who save lives at sea. ❤️🛟🌊
Thank you so much for supporting him!

🌊 Our 9 Beaches Challenge Begins!

Thursday 30th Jul
Hi everyone!
I’m 9 years old and I’ve decided to take on a challenge to help raise money for the lifeboats.
After visiting Brixham Lifeboat Station and learning about the amazing volunteers who help save people at sea, I wanted to do something to help too.

So my challenge is:
🛟 9 years old = 9 beaches! 🛟
I’m going to visit 9 beaches around Devon and litter pick at every one, helping to keep our coastline clean while raising money for the people who help keep us safe at sea.
We’ll be sharing updates from every beach, including photos and how much litter we manage to collect.
I’m really excited to get started!
If you can sponsor me, thank you so much. ❤️ And if you can share my challenge with your friends and family, that would be amazing too!

Next stop… Beach #1! 🏖️
