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?

A short walk for day 18
Sunday 18th May I've got quite a few things happening today but managed to squeeze in the time for another mile. I'm now at 55 miles in total Share
Day 17
Saturday 17th May I'm still keeping going with my walking although I reached 31 miles in the first 9 days.
Day 9
Friday 9th May Not a great distance but considering it was walking to collect raffle and bric a brac ready for our RNLI Spring fair tomorrow it is more than I was expecting.
Day 8
Thursday 8th May I walked into West Bridgford to collect a prescription and took a detour on my way home as I had heard that the newly opened WW2 airaid shelter was open today. I managed to arrive as they'd just locked the door, however they reopened the door and let me have a look around. Wow I didn't realise how long it was. I then returned home and had completed 3.28 miles. I'm now at 30.82 recorded miles in 9 hrs 51 mins.Total steps 72,280. Share
Day 7
Wednesday 7th May I met up with a friend in Radcliffe on Trent and decided to walk back via the gated road. I had a great time seeing llamas, horses , various birds, and 1 rapidly running young rabbit.
Day 6
Tuesday 6th May After a day's break yesterday watching the VE day celebrations I resumed walking again today. I walked 0.4 miles before catching the bus and tram to Beeston to meet a friend. After a natter and a chat my friend said she would accompany me with my walk to the Nottingham university campus and my walk alongside the lake. I was upset to find that my GPS signal had been lost and I had been walking for 50 minutes which is about 2 ½ miles. However I restarted the app and recorded a mile until we got to the tram. I caught the bus and got off a few stops earlier than usual to up my recorded distance walked. I've done another 3.12 miles today taking my total distance to 21.12 miles. Share
Day 4
Sunday 4th May Only a short walk today but still another 2.02 miles, 5386 steps and 36½ minutes. My running total now stands at 18.12 miles,42,298 steps in 5 hours 48 minutes.
Day 3
Saturday 3rd May I didn't intend doing any more than a couple of miles but as it was pleasant and I felt ok I carried on. I did 4.09 miles, 9,302 steps in 79 minutes.
Day 2
Friday 2nd May Another 2 miles added while waiting for my prescription from the oncology department at the City hospital. Why sit inside waiting when I can go outside and add a bit extra distance Share
Day 1
Thursday 1st May I've started my walking today and done 10 miles. I did home to the watersports centre and emptied the box in Desperate Measures. I then walked to the bank in West Bridgford. Having paid in the money I did the reverse journey to deliver the receipt and then make my way home. The Strava app logged 10.01 miles averaging 3mph. ShareThank you to my Sponsors
