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?

Day 7

Tuesday 7th May
Well, that's the first week done. I have paddle boarded every single day. 

I have been on canals, rivers and the sea. From pacy fitness paddles, to lazy river adventures, to venturing further out onto the sea. It has been amazing and I am so proud of the sponsorship raised so far.

Thank you.

Day 1

Wednesday 1st May
An early start to day one with a short but relatively quick paddle at Woodlesford Lock, Leeds.

A glorious morning with still conditions, a hint of sunshine and a temperature that feels like spring may be here, at last.

Thank you to my Sponsors
