Steve's Mayday Mile

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?

My Updates

The final update!

Friday 31st May
May is over! I rowed every day, although on 2 days I only went as far as the pier and back because of the conditions. According to my phone, I have rowed 38.7 miles, and walked 222.2 miles in May, so I have exceeded the "mile a day" by a fair margin! Many thanks to all who sponsored  me. It makes the effort seem worthwhile!

More than half way!

Sunday 19th May
19 days rowed, only 12 to go! I have rowed every dayin May so far, although on two days I only went to the pier and back because the waves were so big that I was rowing uphill for half the time.
