I’m taking on the Mayday Mile Challenge to support RNLI volunteers

Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!

This May, I’m completing a mile-a-day challenge to help RNLI crews save lives at sea.

Between myself and the rest of the crew at Arran RNLI, we will be doing 1 mile every day in May. 

We will we running, walking, sailing or even swimming in Lamlash. Join in if you can! 

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?

Mayday Mile Week 1

Wednesday 7th May
A mix of running (and yes, I'm not really a runner!) in full shore team kit in the warm spring weather, including with a few other crew mates, a lovely evening fast walk with more crew mates and a couple of suitably dressed dogs, and then two 'long miles' on the water. 
The sailing miles have been a lot of fun, obviously, and doing this challenge and getting some good training in has been great! Sailing at least 6-10 km, about 90 minutes each time, tacking myself into a frenzy!  For this I have been wearing an RNLI shore team hi-viz vest if you have seen me in Lamlash Bay.

This may evolve to some kind of challenge race between running and sailing soon.....  

Watch this space!

Meanwhile, thanks for the toots of the horn and the waves. Appreciated, and keep supporting your local Lifeboat!
You are literally Lifesavers.
