I’m a lifelong sailor and water user and I feel that now is the time for me to raise awareness and vital fundraising for Salcombe RNLI.

October is the anniversary of the Salcombe lifeboat disaster where 13 crew lost their lives at sea in 1916 so it’s fitting to run in Salcombe in memory of them.

On October 16/17/18 I will be taking on the challenge of running 4 miles, every 4 hours, over 48 hours! This will result in very little sleep and rest making this challenge increasingly hard and just as much a mental challenge as it is a physical one!

I’ve trained hard recently, losing 19kgs in the last 10 weeks with a total weight loss of 32kgs from my heaviest in 2021 and I’ll be ramping up my training before this challenge to ensure it’s completion.

I love the nature of this challenge as it truly represents the 24/7 nature that the RNLI operate to, battling the elements no matter what!

£4800 is a lot of money but I’ll do everything to reach this target and with your support I think we can!

Thank you for reading.

I’d really appreciate your donation but also your support and sharing direct with family/friends and on social media. Exposure is massively key to fundraising.

I’ll be posting updates on this page but follow my socials for full coverage during the challenge:

Salcombe Stories

Salcombe's lifeboat station was established in 1869 and has served the community for over 150 years.

The volunteer lifeboat crew provide a 24-hour search and rescue service 365 days a year, but none of this would be possible without the support of the public and their donations. It costs in the region of £250k a year to run and maintain the service in Salcombe, all of which comes from the generous donations of the public.

Your donation will help to fund the selfless work of our volunteer lifeboat crew in Salcombe, by doing so you will be helping to save lives around our coast and will be providing the best equipment possible to ensure the safety of our volunteers.
