How your support helped the RNLI in 2024

437 Lives saved

25,327 People aided by lifeboat crews and lifeguards

9,141 Lifeboat launches

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.

Please help raise funds for the RNLI

New fundraising target needed!

Sunday 30th Nov
Wowsers, wasn't expecting to hit my target already, and I haven't even started the challenge!. Thank you so much all for your very generous donations.

To keep the momentum I am going to up the target, this time the figure is 470.00, which represents the 47,000 adult lobsters that were returned to the sea in 2024 as part of the Bord Iascaigh Mhara "V-notching" conservation scheme, started by the lobster fishermen, of which Joe was one. 
Every year, a portion of female lobsters, caught by the fishermen have a notch cut in their tail and are released back into the sea. This V notch confers legal protection, meaning if caught they must be released again. This is designed to prevent overfishing of lobster and leave enough to breed and conserve the population.

Reindeer run

Friday 28th Nov
Hi all, I've decided to take on the reindeer run challenge, to raise funds for RNLI, our lifesavers around our beautiful but wild coasts. The challenge is also in memory of a special person, Joe Joyce, a fisherman from the Aran Islands, who lost his life to the sea a few months ago. The RNLI are 90% funded by donations and so every fundraising event helps. I'm aiming to raise €201, which is equal to the number of years that the RNLI has been in operation. It may not seem like a massive task but I've been a bit of a couch potato the last few months so it'll require a bit of a habit change on my part... Wish me luck!
 I'm hoping to complete by the 24th December and looking to run a few 3/4 mile-ers on some days so very happy to have company even as an audio call if you fancy getting out for a 1, 2, 3, 4 mile run some day and a catch up in between breathing!. Thanks all and please donate a few quid if you can.

Thank you to my Sponsors
