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
Day 27 Wet & windy!
Tuesday 27th May I suppose I should grateful that this is the first time I've had to do the walk in driving rain! At least it wasn't cold. So, a little shorter today but it looks like I should break the 80 mile barrier for the month. Watch this space!
Day 21 - Well ahead of schedule
Wednesday 21st May We have been away and that has helped me to increase my daily distance. I set a target of an average 2 miles per day, a total of 62 miles in the month, but have all but have managed that 2/3 of the way in! And I have stuck to my rule that is has to be an actual walk, not just an accumulation of steps throughout the day. Thanks for your support, and to Lin for doing every mile with me. Share
Day 11 - On track
Sunday 11th May I set my target at an average of 2 miles per day or better, with a minimum of 1. So far, I’m ahead of that target - about 30 miles on Day 11. I’m enjoying it and it’s doing me good, as well as being for a great cause. Win, win! Share
Day 5 - Jack in the Green
Monday 5th May On target: 5 days and ~ 12miles complete - today walking from Marina car park to the lifeboat station (and back) to deliver cakes for the Jack in the Green open day and help talking to visitors. I've never seen so many motorbikes! Thank you to my sponsors - a great boost! Share
Day 1 complete!
Thursday 1st May OK, that's Day 1 complete. We had a wander round Herstmonceux this morning (I didn't count that). Then this afternoon, I did a 2.2mile round circuit of the roads close to home, accompanied by Lin. If the weather stays this nice, all will be well :-) Share
Getting Ready
Monday 28th Apr The start of my MayDay Mile challenge is approaching. You might think that 1 mile a day isn't that much of a challenge but I prefer to think of the total being more than a marathon, just with a really slow time!! I am aiming to do more than 1 mile and will soldier on in all weathers, and whether or not I'm in the UK. Thank you for your support of my efforts and the RNLI. ShareThank you to my Sponsors
