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?

Towards the Finish Line
Thursday 22nd May Time really flies, and I only have nine days left of walks to do. I have really enjoyed the beautiful sunshine, and taking on the challenge. It has got me out enjoying the outdoors in a way I wouldn't ever normally. It has been great to do something different, stretch my legs, and be walking for walking's sake, rather than trying to get somewhere. It has been an active month for me, and the walking has given me some breathing space from everything else. Really wonderful, all for a great cause. Share
Why I'm Doing the Mayday Mile
Thursday 1st May I recently sponsored the London Air Ambulance Charity because these services aren't government-funded. All air ambulance and rescue services, such as the RNLI, are completely funded by charitable donation.In 2024, there were:
- 9,141 lifeboat launches
- 17,068 people helped out of dangerous situations
- 352 lives saved by RNLI lifeboat crews
- 85 lives saved by RNLI lifeguards
- Over 17,000 people helped by RNLI lifeguards
Great idea and a vital cause. Friend and son were recently saved. He was close to drowning trying to save his son who was blown out on windsurfer.
