Nick's Mayday Mile Challenge for RLNI

This May, I’m completing a mile-a-day challenge to help RNLI crews save lives at sea. I'm going to attempt to do my 31 miles by swimming - The aim is that I become stronger than Poseidon so I never need the RNLI - but if one day one of you needs those glorious crew members, hopefully this will get them some funding to be able to help you out! :)

As a seaside boy, the RNLI is a very passionate subject for us folk on the south coast <3 <3

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 sponsoring 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? 

And remember to add Gift Aid to increase your sponsorship by 25% at no extra cost to you <3
