How your support helped the RNLI in 2024

437 Lives saved

25,327 People aided by lifeboat crews and lifeguards

9,141 Lifeboat launches

Taking on the Reindeer Run challenge for RNLI lifesavers

RNLI supporters around the country will be donning their antlers and strapping up their hooves to run 24 miles – all to help keep RNLI volunteers safe this winter.

Freezing seas, numbing winds and sub-zero temperatures – would you fancy launching into that aboard a lifeboat? RNLI crews will be doing just that, battling the elements this winter to continue their mission to save every one.

Reindeer Runners will be raising money so they have everything they need to answer the call for help. Because no matter how harsh the winter weather might be, lifeboat crews will always launch to the rescue. I’d be so grateful if you could sponsor me.

Please help raise funds for the RNLI

Run Reindeer Run!

Friday 26th Dec
At the end of the Summer (2025) I joined a local running club, the Sutton Striders. I had seen these runners at the Non Such Park run each week and wasn’t put off by them (as I wouldn’t class myself as a runner)! The group looked friendly and happy and they always seemed to be laughing. 
I joined there club as they had 2 social runs a week that fitted in well to my schedule. 

My fitness has improved significantly and I was keen to take on a challenge throughout the month of December as I believe this month can often be packed with parties, alcohol, lots of food and sitting around (not necessarily a bad thing). I certainly didn’t want my running to slip off track though. 

I also wanted to raise a bit of money for charity and the RNLI seemed a good charity to raise funds for, having not supported them in the past. 

At the time of writing this blog, I’ve managed to run over 40 miles in December and I’ve just about hit my fundraising goal. So, thank you for reading this blog and thank you for sponsoring me if you’ve already done so, or if you’d like to.
