Story
Following the success of last years Guinness World Record attempt, raising nearly £3000 (inc Gift Aid) for the Burley in Wharfedale Scout and Guides, I am attempting a second Guinness World Record, fastest marathon as a Lifeguard. Nuno and the boys suggested another GWR attempt and helped choose the title (I was not prepared to run as a rhino or in high heels as they initially suggested!)
I have to run in a specified outfit, carry a whistle round my neck and hold a flotation device. I have been out running with the float and can assure you it is not easy as it flaps and blows around. There are 3 other ladies attempting this record at the London Marathon on Sunday 22nd April.
Running as a lifeguard, I wanted to support the RNLI, but I also wish to fundraise for my local community, Burley in Wharfedale.
My Grandma was a great supporter of the the RNLI. Her dog once fell into the sea from a pier and was was quickly rescued by a RNLI Lifeguard, and recently, a young man who Nuno knew, tragically lost his life at sea. His family were supported enormously by the RNLI and they are 'indebted to the RNLI who searched which such dedication and compassion'. The RNLI is an extremely worthy cause, brave, selfless volunteer lifeboat crews and lifeguards who risk their lives to save others, rescuing on average 23 people a day.
I also wish to help my local community improve the play/sports facilities for young people. I would like to raise money to go towards the improvements planned for the skate park area at the rec (where the installation of a zip wire is planned).
I sincerely thank everyone for any donation, it REALLY means a lot.
Thank you, Becca x
PS All donations will go directly to the two chosen causes and I will be able to add Gift Aid to all money raised at the end of the fundraising period, thus adding an extra 25% to the total raised.
