Welcome and thank you for visiting our fundraising page. The RNLI Launch and Recovery team are raising money for the RNLI and we'd be really grateful for any support you can give. We've decided to 'virtually' walk, run or cycle from the RNLI HQ in Poole to our manufacturing friends at Clayton Engineering in Wales! Clayton's build lots of our specialist Launch and Recovery vehicles and seemed like the perfect place to visit. It's a casual 171 miles door to door and as a team we will be trying to go there and back (342miles) between the 18th and 25th May! Don't be fooled, we are self confessed desk drivers and haven't been winning any sports days for several years if ever... This will be TOUGH!

Given the current situation you might be wondering how we''ll do it. Don't worry we're not physically setting off down the M4 to Wales but will record how far we travel using either our daily exercise allowance or indoor exercise equipment. Social distancing rules will be followed at all times and sweat bands are strictly prohibited.

At this challenging time in all our lives, the RNLI's volunteer lifeboat crews are still on call 24/7, rescuing people in danger at sea. The coronavirus pandemic has meant that the RNLI's normal Mayday fundraising activities for 2020 have been put on hold, but I'm determined to do my bit from home. Perhaps you could support me by donating the money you've saved on your usual coffee or fuel? Whatever you can donate will be gratefully received and put to good use by the RNLI! Thank you so much :)
