My husband, Mike, was lifeboat crew until last year when he retired from the boat at Whitstable.  I have grown up by the sea and give it the healthy respect it deserves.  Unfortunately there are times when people come into difficulties at sea for a variety of reasons and the RNLI are there to help out and save lives.  The service is manned mostly by volunteers and receives no government money, so work by fundraisers around the UK are vital fro the continuation of their services.

Those of you who have known me for a number of years will know I am not known for my fitness and have been overweight all of my adult life.  Things are now changing for me and after losing over 6st in weight I am now healthier and more active than I have ever been.  This event is a personal challenge for me as well as an opportunity to raise funds for a great cause.

Please support me in anyway you can, and think of me on Saturday afternoon when I will be running 3 miles along the seafront at Whitstable and then taking a dip in the pool for 400m.
