Ruth runs the Chicago Marathon!

By Ruth McAfee

I’m fundraising for the RNLI to help power brave lifesavers to the rescue

On the 24th January 2026 Mum died doing the thing she loved so much, sea swimming. The RNLI went out to reach her, our family will be eternally grateful for their help and all the work they do.  

I got a ballot entry for the Chicago marathon and asked Mum should I go for it, she said “Ruth I swim, you run, I get it, you go for it.”  

I’m running the marathon in memory of Mum & to raise money for the RNLI. I’m fundraising to help them stay ready to rescue.
