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?

Birthday walk
Sunday 26th May It's my birthday and I still walked my mile - IN THE RAIN. I've done 28 miles in the last 26 days. Some days it has been the only thing I've physically managed to do in the day, often split into 2 separate walks.
Swimming
Saturday 18th May At the pool on Thursday I thought it might be a good idea to try swimming the mile. Turns out, it feels a LOT longer to swim a mile than walk, even with my disability!
A wet walk
Sunday 12th May I've been keeping my walks until the end of the day recently - the quiet is rather calming. After a busy and troubling couple of days, starting with a hospital trip on Friday for a toe injury (that didn't stop me!) and various other busy days, I decided to take a stroll up the Gorge with a couple of friends for a cake and coffee - and annoy 2 of my children at work.
Needing a good way to track this!
Tuesday 7th May I failed two things today - posting parcels, and tracking my walk. The parcels was an anxiety issue, the tracking a phone battery one. It should be resolved now though as I've borrowed a fitness watch! Let's hope we can link technology once it's charged!
First mile done!
Wednesday 1st May I knew this would be a challenge and I certainly hope it gets easier.
Keep going x
