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 8-17
Sunday 18th MayWe have continued walking but haven’t always been the best at recording, or posting. We have missed a couple of days as some days have been full, but the boys completed an 8 mile walk today to make up for it 💪🏻
Day 8 - The boys and I took a slightly random stroll to the cake shop to get our mile in before swimming. It worked and we managed it and some of us got the much needed caffeine before the joy that is swim lessons.
Day 9 - Fridays are always manic as we help run the kids club at church so no chance of walking a mile after school.
Day 10 - Too busy pool partying 🎉
Day 11 - We went to the seaside and had a quick walk up the seafront to make sure we fitted the mile into the day.
Day 12 - Marcus took the boys for a cycle whilst I did a KIT day at work, I believe that the trip out involved chocolate and I’m only slightly bitter that none was brought for me.
Day 13 - As it was Ralph’s birthday we combined the Mayday mile with Ralph’s party and completed a spy trail and the mile with an extra 5 children in tow. Fortunately we managed to return all children to their parents at the end of the trail.
Day 14 - No miles walked, still in recovery from the night before
Day 15 - Marcus took the boys for a walk before swimming, apparently there was a point where he had to crawl under a fence, unfortunately there is no photographic evidence of this.
Day 16 - Friday again.
Day 17 - The boys and I completed an eight mile walk from Newhaven station to Peacehaven and back. We went past the lifeboat station and the coastguard tower, the boys were disappointed that there was no emergency.
