As a personal challenge I am cycling from Land's End to John O'Groats this year. While not doing the event for a particular cause - it is a good opportunity to raise some money for a cause close to my heart and any charity where I may need rescuing one day, is worth a donation!

A friend was rescued by an RNLI crew. He now volunteers and is training to be boat crew.

Too many people are still drowning. More than ever we need the RNLI’s help. 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. The lifeguards keeping watch on 240 of the busiest beaches in the UK and Channel Islands. And the RNLI safety teams and educators working tirelessly to stop people getting into trouble in the first place.
