Taking on the Reindeer Run challenge for RNLI lifesavers
RNLI supporters around the country will be donning their antlers and strapping up their hooves to run 24 miles – all to help keep RNLI volunteers safe this winter.
Freezing seas, numbing winds and sub-zero temperatures – would you fancy launching into that aboard a lifeboat? RNLI crews will be doing just that, battling the elements this winter to continue their mission to save every one.
Reindeer Runners will be raising money so they have everything they need to answer the call for help. Because no matter how harsh the winter weather might be, lifeboat crews will always launch to the rescue. I’d be so grateful if you could sponsor me.

Island run - an extra special one
Wednesday 10th Dec
Run number 3 completed today, on Inis Oirr, Joe's home and the island he was so proud of (better than the "big big" island (Ireland mainland) he would tell me). Today I was really lucky to be joined by islanders Éadaoin, Síle, Ciara, Colm, Fiachna, Rónán, Ciarán, Matt C, Matt S, Una, and Eoin.
It was a last minute message posted by Aoife and yet 11 people came to run, with more saying that they would have joined had they known. Special thanks to Eilis and the students from Colaiste Ghobnait for coming along straight from school, Thanks to all the Seoige's for coming to cheer us on and Áine for the post-run sweets.
We did a circuit of the lake, covering a distance of 2.73miles in 25minutes, avg speed of 10.3km/hr (some of us were a little faster than that!)
As of today, the fundraiser amount sits at €1688.10, with some cash donations as well that I will give to Aran RNLI directly. I am blown away. Thank you all so so much for supporting the fundraiser, it is a testament to the wonderful person that Joe was and to the great work that the RNLI do.
Rith uimhir 3 déanta inniú, ar Inis Oírr, baile Joe agus an t-oileán a raibh sé chomh bródúil as (níos fearr ná an t-oileán "mór mór" (mórthír na hÉireann) a déarfadh sé liom). Inniu bhí an-ádh orm go raibh na hoileánaigh Éadaoin, Síle, Ciara, Colm, Fiachna, Rónán, Ciarán, Matt C, Matt S, Una, agus Eoin linn.
Cé gur teachtaireacht nóiméad deireanach a bhí á phostáil ag Aoife, tháinig 11 duine chun rith, agus dúirt níos mó go mbeadh siad páirteach dá mbeadh a fhios acu. Buíochas speisialta le hEilís agus na daltaí ó Choláiste Ghobnait as teacht díreach ón scoil, buíochas leis na Seoighes go léir as teacht chun tacú linn agus le hÁine as na milseáin i ndiaidh an rith.
Rinneamar ciorcad timpeall an locha, ag clúdach achar 2.73 míle i 25 nóiméad, meánluas de 10.3km/u (bhí cuid againn beagán níos tapúla ná sin!).
Ag an am seo, tá méid na “fundraiser” ag €1688.10, agus “cash donations” freisin a thabharfaidh mé go díreach do RNLI Árann. Táim thar a bheith sásta. Go raibh míle maith agaibh go léir as tacú leis an fundraiser, is fianaise é ar an duine iontach a bhí Joe agus ar an obair iontach a dhéanann an RNLI
The island truly is the best place on earth!
Go fírinneach,níl aon áit ar domhan níos fearr ná an t-oileán
