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?

Becoming reality. Come may I'll be trying to run a mile day everyday where possible. And if body allows anyone know me it's much harder than think my injury record! 😂 Any donations gratefully received to save lives at sea!

Shirt and hat order now have all the gear and no idea! Any more donations gratefully received. Bring on May not long now! May body stay together 😆

£100

Saturday 13th Apr
Incredible £100 already! thank you everyone that has donated already! Over halfway to my target first target, If that keeps on I may have to go higher! 

For clarity I do plan to try and run every mile each day if Injuries and body allows but luckily it doesn't have to as long I do a mile and raise money to help fun the great RNLI.
