Five volunteer crew from Portsmouth lifeboat station (John Shaw, Josh Owens, Jake Biggs, Jordan Paddon and Anthony Lewis) plan to run the 10 mile Great South Run in RNLI Inshore Lifeboat Kit to raise vital funds for the RNLI which receives no government funding.

Further information about the RNLI can be found here:

Our RNLI lifeboats in the South East protect hundreds of communities through our 24-hour search and rescue service. They rely on the safest, most reliable lifeboats and modern stations to launch from. From the stunning Dorset, Sussex and Kent coastlines to the unpredictable tidal Thames, our favourite places in the South east are enjoyed by millions of people from across the country every year. But the water remains an unpredictable environment that can catch people out. People will always need our help and we will always be there to answer that call.Keeping a modern fleet of lifeboats maintained, fuelled and ever ready to go to the rescue from all 31 South East lifeboat stations is expensive and we rely entirely on voluntary donations to ensure this service is maintained.
