RNLI Tower Run 2026

RNLI Tower Run 2026

The RNLI Tower Run is London’s biggest stair climb challenge, with runners tackling over 1,400 steps whilst raising money to support the RNLI's lifesaving work in London and along the UK coastline.

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. Powered by kind donations, our search and rescue service has been saving lives around the UK for over 200 years. 

Every pound and penny raised from the RNLI Tower Run will go towards equipping our volunteer lifeboat crews with the essential training, kit, boats and materials required to continue our lifesaving mission for years to come.

Unbelievable Support: tripling Down for the RNLI!

Wednesday 14th Oct
WOW. I am completely blown away by your generosity!

Within 24 hours of launching my RNLI Birthday Tower Run Challenge, we hit the initial £150 target. I raised the goal to £300—and thanks to you, we smashed right through that in the next 24 hours!

To everyone who has donated, shared, and cheered me on so far: thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Seeing this support makes training for those 56 floors and 1,080 steps up 22 Bishopsgate even more meaningful. As a lifeguard and swimming teacher, knowing that these funds directly support the RNLI’s volunteer crews and life-saving equipment means the world to me.

Since we still have time before the run (and my birthday on 19th October!), I am keeping the momentum going and setting a new stretch goal of £450!

If you haven’t had a chance to donate yet or would like to share the link, every single pound makes a huge difference to keeping our waters safe:

Turning My Birthday into a Life-Saving Mission 🌊🏃‍♂️

Monday 12th Oct
Dear family, friends, and colleagues,

It’s my birthday next week on 19th October, and this year I want to dedicate the occasion to a cause close to my heart. I have signed up for the RNLI Tower Run Challenge—climbing 56 floors and 1,080 steps up 22 Bishopsgate—to raise funds for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). 

Since early 2025, I have worked as a lifeguard serving our local pools, lidos, and ponds. This year, I expanded my commitment to water safety by qualifying as a swimming instructor and lifeguarding at open-water swimming events across the country. Through this work, I have had the privilege of meeting RNLI lifeguards and visiting RNLI stations. While seasonal beach lifeguards are paid staff, over 95% of RNLI lifeboat crew members are unpaid volunteers who put their lives on the line 24/7 to save others at sea. As a fellow lifesaver, I deeply admire their dedication, selflessness, and skill. 

If you are able to support my birthday challenge and help power their life-saving work, please consider donating or sharing my page: 👉

 Thank you so much for your support! Vincent
