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?

Why am I doing this?
Thursday 10th Apr The RNLI is a charity that is close to mine and my wife Hannah's hearts. With Hannah's mums passing a few years ago, we donated to the RNLI to have her name printed onto the side of a newly manufactured RNLI lifeboat. We had the privilege of travelling down to Poole on the South Coast to visit the newly commissioned vessel. This is the boat on the cover photo with me and Hannah stood beside it. This lifeboat now operates out of Whitby. In recent times Hannah's dad has also passed away and the chosen charity for collection at his funeral was for the RNLI. It's in their memory that I'd like to raise some more funds to help the RNLI continue the life saving work that they do.Thank you to my Sponsors
