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?

Please help raise funds for the RNLI

Day 18 Bamburgh Walk

Sunday 19th May
Dragged Brad and James along to Bamburgh’s Lifeboat Day. We managed to enjoy the sun as the fog cleared for a little bit and had our walk along the beach. Thankfully we had some shorts in the car to replace his soaking joggers 😆💛

Day 17 Walk

Saturday 18th May
James cut his toe at swimming so it was a slow walk this time, he was hobbling at first being very dramatic and before you knew it he was running around as usual 😆

Day 16 Walk

Thursday 16th May
Was nice to get out all together after work in the sunshine ☀️💛 sorry to crop you out the photo Brad 😆

We had a nice family walk together round all the houses, having a race home, which I tried to get a head start and James was not very happy, oops 😅

Day 10 Aurora Walk

Saturday 11th May
I was on my way home from a crew night and noticed soooo many cars parked along the Leas. I still had my mile walk to do so dragged Brad out with me at 11pm. 💜🩷

Day 9 Sunny Walk

Thursday 9th May
Brad was working late again so me and James went for a nice walk together 💛☀️ Treat him to a nice ice cream which I may have stole some whilst he was playing on the beach 😆

Day 8 Walk

Wednesday 8th May
We went out with every intention of running together… until we realised James had put his joggers on backwards so we stopped a couple times to try sort them haha! We also let him lead the way down some crazy routes and after how many times I said be careful of the rabbit holes, I went over in one 😂. So a walk it was 😆💛

Day 7 Lunchtime Walk

Wednesday 8th May
I knew with being at Lifeboat training later on I wouldn’t have much time so I went for a nice walk along Roker on my lunch break ☀️

Knocked over 30 seconds off my run, definitely helps not having a Chinese before 😆

We joined Grandad Nigel with the dogs for our day 5 mile walk 🐶💛

Day 4 Family Run

Saturday 4th May
We had a family run to the park, and James ran this time as well! So proud of him 💛

Late Night Walk

Friday 3rd May
Brad finished work super late so he was super happy when I asked to go for a walk at 10pm when he got in 😆

Day 2 RUN

Thursday 2nd May
I have always struggled running (always swam - which was what got me into being a beach lifeguard) but happy I have ran one mile fully without stopping, considering I may have had a Chinese tonight for Uncle Callum’s birthday :D - I sit on my butt all day at work and hardly do any activity, most exercise I would get would be lifting the anchor in on the Lifeboat. Hopefully will be a bit quicker by the end of the month x

Day 2 Walk

Thursday 2nd May
James was stopping at Grandma Debs tonight so she joined us for a James adventure walk

1st mile done

Wednesday 1st May
May have included some walking and holding James’ hand all the way to drag him along haha!
