On 23rd April 2023, I will be running my fifth London Marathon. Each year, I run the London Marathon on behalf of a different charity, and I am proud to be running this year's Marathon in support of Southend RNLI. To date, I have raised £9,429 for good causes both locally and nationally.

The Southend-on-Sea RNLI Station has two boathouses, inshore and outshore, and is the busiest all-volunteer coastal station in the country - averaging over 100 shouts a year!

As a charity, the RNLI depends on our donations so it can go on saving lives and keeping us and our loved ones safe. RNLI lifesavers are our lifeline. They’re the lifeboat crews who provide 24-hour search and rescue right around the UK and Ireland.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity.

So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
