Mike's fundraiser for Merseyside Water Rescue

Mike Thessaloniki Byrne is raising money for Merseyside Water Rescue

Half Marathon · 26 April 2026

Our volunteers operate a safety boat at the south Liverpool docks every Friday and Saturday night 8pm to midnight in all weathers. We aim to be there in the vital first minutes when the risk of cold water shock and drowning is greatest. We promote water safety and help to keep people safe near water

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For over three years, I have had the privilege of volunteering with Merseyside Water Rescue, an experience that has profoundly shaped my perspective on community service and public safety. Our team provides an essential frontline service, patrolling the waterways to offer life-saving interventions, shore-based support, and vital water safety education to the public. During my time working with the team I have met a fantastic group of people who are dedicated to their roles of keeping people safe whilst giving their own time to volunteer. The work we do is very important from rescuing people from the water, too talking to people contemplating jumping into water whether because they’re having a tough time or because they think it will be fun. For these reasons I have decided to run a half marathon to raise some valuable funds for the charity.
