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?

My Updates
Walked to Beavers
Monday 11th May Seemed quite appropriate as I got involved in Scouts through Andrew. He was Cub Leader after the pandemic and needed a female helper to be able to open. I said I would do it "until he found someone else". And here I am, almost five years later, still here, more involved than ever!
Timing
Tuesday 5th May A couple of people have mentioned that my times are quite long for the distance I do. Partly, I am old! But also because I usually combine my walks with errands. So today, I went to a couple of shops as I went. I am using the "move minutes" which should take account of browsing, queueing etc. But, as previously stated, I am old! Share
Walk in the park
Sunday 3rd May Today is the first day that I will just have to walk. No plans which include a walk so planning to find a route through the local park. Probably in the rain! But first, housework. (I wonder if those steps count?!) Share
Hope it counts!
Friday 1st May
Technology!
Wednesday 29th Apr Looks like I will have to add my miles manually. I did a test today. I have an app called Betterpoints (linked to going green in West Yorkshire) and Google Fit. My problem is that they give different distances! Tonight I used Fit as it gives steps and minutes which the web page asks for. Will see how it goes! Share
Nearly time!
Saturday 25th Apr It's almost May! Hoping the weather stays good for me. Some of my miles will be in Paris when I make my annual pilgrimage to Roland Garros but I will be sure to keep my steps up. Even if I have to do laps of the Eurostar terminal! Share
New target
Monday 6th Apr Thank you for all your generous donations. I have updated my fundraising target! Share
