To those that love to sail, and in race in all conditions across the UK, we can rest assured that the RNLI will be there in the moment of need on the water. 

As a small child my mother, always supported the RNLI, even when we were not a sailing family. The courage and bravery to go out into seas that most of us dare not to think about, is truly amazing.

For some crazy reason and moment of madness, I will be attempting to cycle from London to Newcastle in five days, with a bunch of my Sage colleagues. Having just purchased a bike in January 2018, its time I had focus to get on the dam thing and use it, and this seemed like one way to motivate me, at least to buy some padded shorts!

To all my sailing friends, please spare a few pounds, if only to see me sweat and unlikely sit down again in the Pier View for weeks after, even when RTI is the next day we finish the cycle!!!!!
