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?

Over halfway!!

Friday 16th May
Half way through the month and over half way through the distance. I love updating my spreadsheet after each swim🏊🏻‍♀️ 
Burghley 5k swim last week but took a few days off for that so day 16, swim 13 and 16 miles swam. Thank you for your support 🙏

Bank holidays swims

Monday 5th May
Over the bank holiday weekend I’ve completed 4.5 miles swimming at some lovely locations. Thank you for your support 🙏🏊🏻‍♀️

Swim 31 miles??

Wednesday 30th Apr
Recently I qualified as an open water lifeguard. Although that doesn’t include tidal locations I felt I wanted to support the RNLI’s Mayday Mile this month. The challenge is to complete 31 miles during May any way you want to. I have decided to try and swim my Mayday Mile and get as close to 31 miles as I can. Like many I am drawn to the water but it’s a strong force that we should respect. Any of us, no matter how well we swim could get into difficulty. As the summer approaches and people flock to the coast help me support the tireless work the RNLI do. 
Thank you 🙏

Love this Shazza. My mum grew up on the coast and was always very passionate about supporting the RNLI. Now I like to support them in her memory.
